# Task Allocation in Multiagent Systems

- **Authors**: Peter Stone, Manuela Veloso
- **Year**: 2000
- **Summary**: This paper surveys various approaches to task allocation in multiagent systems, where a set of tasks needs to be distributed among a group of agents. It discusses centralized vs. decentralized approaches, market-based methods (like auctions), and negotiation-based methods. The goal is to achieve efficient and robust task distribution, which is crucial for the scalability and performance of multiagent systems.
