Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Forming a team of experts that can match the requirements of a collaborative task is an important aspect, especially in project development. In this paper, we propose an improved Jaya optimization algorithm for minimizing the communication cost among team experts to solve team formation problem. The proposed algorithm is called an improved Jaya algorithm with a modified swap operator (IJMSO). We invoke a single-point crossover in the Jaya algorithm to accelerate the search, and we apply a new swap operator within Jaya algorithm to verify the consistency of the capabilities and the required skills to carry out the task. We investigate the IJMSO algorithm by implementing it on two real-life datasets (i.e., digital bibliographic library project and StackExchange) to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of proposed algorithm against other meta-heuristic algorithms such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, African buffalo optimization algorithm and standard Jaya algorithm. Experimental results suggest that the proposed algorithm achieves significant improvement in finding effective teams with minimum communication costs among team members for achieving the goal.
