On approach to team formation problem concerning performance and cooperative effects

摘要

Team formation is a difficult problem. One should select worker suitable for each particular task in a pool while carefully weighing results of possible interactions between team members. We discern between competence and performance. An approach for the problem which is able to measure members' interactions influence on team performance is proposed. In addition, new team performance measure in order to handle its non-additivity is proposed. Competence and requirements are mapped in a skill space so that distance or dissimilarity can be calculated. Performance is calculated for a team using proposed measure. Tasks are assigned to workers so as to minimize complex value of team performance and average dissimilarity. Numerical example is provided.
