Distributed Task Allocation

Distributed Task Allocation is a coordination mechanism in multi-agent systems wherein decentralized agents autonomously assign and execute tasks among themselves through local interactions and shared protocols, distinguishing it from centralized task assignment by its lack of global control and reliance on distributed decision-making.
