Group role assignment with conflicting agent constraints

Abstract

Role assignment is an important task in Role-Based Collaboration (RBC). There are many constraints in the process of role assignment. This paper formally identifies the group role assignment problems with conflicting agent constraints; proposes initial solutions based on previously proposed role assignment algorithms; conducts experiments by randomly creating agent qualifications and constraints; analyzes the solutions' performances based on experimental results, and indicates future research activities. The contribution of this work includes: formally defining a problem of constrained role assignment, proposing an initial solution, and explaining that role assignment becomes very complex when conflict agents are considered.
