title = "A swarm robotics approach to task allocation under soft deadlines and negligible switching costs",
abstract = "Developing swarm robotics systems for real-time applications is a challenging mission. Task deadlines are among the kind of constraints which characterize a large set of real applications. This paper focuses on devising and analyzing a task allocation strategy that allows swarm robotics systems to execute tasks characterized by soft deadlines and to minimize the costs associated with missing the task deadlines.",
