Heuristics for the stochastic dynamic task-resource allocation problem with retry opportunities

This paper deals with a stochastic multi-period task-resource allocation problem. A team of agents with a set of resources is to be deployed on a multi-period mission with the goal to successfully complete as many tasks as possible. The success probability of an agent assigned to a task depends on the resources available to the agent. Unsuccessful tasks can be tried again at later periods. While the problem can in principle be solved by dynamic...
