Multifactor task allocation problem in wireless sensor and actuator networks

Task allocation is an essential part of many military applications of WSAN such as intelligent minefield.The key problem of task allocation decision in these systems for the optimal scheme on task allocation is how to obtain the node-target assignment.Combing with the factors of target’s parameters...

description Task allocation is an essential part of many military applications of WSAN such as intelligent minefield.The key problem of task allocation decision in these systems for the optimal scheme on task allocation is how to obtain the node-target assignment.Combing with the factors of target’s parameters and node’s own status,the various influence factors of task efficiency were analyzed and the positive and negative indicators were processed by range normalization method separately.The linear-weighted task efficiency function was proposed in the applications of WSAN such as intelligent minefield.It can be utilized as the evaluation index of assignment schemes since it reflected the integrated impact of target’s threat and node’s value on the system more comprehensively.Task efficiency function can be constructed flexibly based on the demand of different multifactor task allocation application.The essence of the problem was how to make node-target assignment to achieve the maximum task efficiency of the whole system.This problem turned into assignment problem and can be solved.Finally,an application was implemented to demonstrate this scheme.The results show that the model is suitable for small-scale multifactor task allocation problem in intelligent minefield system.
