Simulation-based workforce assignment considering position in a social network

Abstract: Globally distributed software enhancement necessitates joint efforts of workforces across various organizations, which constitutes a multifaceted social network. Here, we propose a novel modeling framework to optimally assign the workforce to software development projects considering both short and long-term benefits of the organization. The proposed framework is composed of the evaluation module, an agentbased simulation model representing the considered social network; and the assignment module, a multiobjec… Show more

“…Modeling team or group formation is not new within ABMS. 25–27 An example of group formation adapted into an ABMS includes a probabilistic model of creative team formation (or assembly). 28 Researchers were trying to estimate the probabilities that best explained the formation of collaborative networks in the scientific disciplines (and the Broadway musical industry).…”

“…Given the complexity of the group formation problem, it is not surprising that researchers have already applied hybrid modeling. In combination with ABMS, the following methods have been used: fuzzy sets, 25 multi-objective optimization techniques, 26 and greedy/minimal algorithms. 27 These applications were focused on the formation of project teams and assume centralized control of the team formation process.…”

“…With advances in information technology, web technology, and the prevalence of globalization, 18 and to enable cost savings and sharing of available resource, 9 an increasing number of enterprise structures are adopting a distributed model, especially in the information system and software development industry. 1014 This trend will accelerate at an even greater pace in the near future.…”
