Abstract :
The authors deal with the task allocation problem in distributed software design, with the goal of maximizing the system reliability. A quantitative problem model, algorithms for optimal and suboptimal solutions, and simulation results are provided and discussed. Because the authors use a new allocation goal-to maximize system reliability-this paper complements the existing body of knowledge in task allocation
