Thus, our model captures most task allocation problems that involve some form of temporal (i.e. deadline and time to complete a task) and spatial constraints (i.e. positions of agents and tasks) such as those existing in logistics planning or crew scheduling [7]. Given this, we define both optimal and approximate solutions for the problem. (ii) We develop a new DCOP formulation for the approximate

Role playing was the means chosen to encourage development of working relationships among health care students.
