Abstract :
In this work we study the problem of task assignment in multiagent multitask systems and in particular in smart camera networks for surveillance. This problem is a combinatorial optimization problem that can be solved in a centralized fashion, however a decentralized solution is ought in systems where communication among all agents may be limited and where the system efficiency and robustness cannot rely on the performance of a single central unit. To address this problem, we start by formalizing the problem and presenting a general model framework, and then we propose a decentralized solution inspired by the Stable Marriage Problem, that presents interesting performances in terms of optimality over a number of defined metrics. The proposed solution is also compared with centralized and decentralized algorithms via numerical simulations showing promising results.
