A heuristic algorithm to solve the task partition problem in MDOCEM

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

This paper examines task partition problem in a Multiagent-based Distributed Open Computing Environment Model (MDOCEM). We first present a formal method to describe the task partition problem, then give a heuristic algorithm to solve the task partition problem that gives an approximate optimum solution.
