A market based approach for resolving resource constrained task allocation problems in a software development process
conference contribution
posted on 2012-12-03, 13:51 authored by Murat Yilmaz, Rory V. O'ConnorWe consider software development as an economic activity,
where goods and services can be modeled as a resource constrained task
allocation problem. This paper introduces a market based mechanism
to overcome task allocation issues in a software development process. It
proposes a mechanism with a prescribed set of rules, where valuation is
based on the behaviors of stakeholders such as biding for a task. A bid
process ensures that a stakeholder, who values the resource most, will
have it allocated for a limited number of times. To observe the bidders
behaviors, we initiate an approach incorporated with a process simula-
tion model. Our preliminary results support the idea that our model is
useful for optimizing the value based task allocations, creating a market
value for the project assets, and for achieving proper allocation of project
resources speci cally on large scale software projects.
