Self-adapting task allocation approach for software outsourcing services
Abstract
Task allocation problem plays a key role in software outsourcing services. In this paper, a self-adapting task allocation approach is presented to provide optimal task assignment strategy in the project management of software outsourcing services. The approach is constituted by preparation, task allocation, evaluation, and evolution part. In the core part, task allocation, several mathematical models for different objectives are built to determine the optimal task allocation solutions, and heuristics are proposed to solve them. The proposed approach was proved by numerical examples to be efficient, practical and helpful for improving enterprise project management level and sources code quality. © 2012 IEEE.
