Simulation of work teams using a multi-agent system

When a complex project starts in industry the selection of team(s) is one of the first steps that must be done. The correct selection of people to integrate a team within a complex engineering project is not a trivial task. Team configuration is a type of business decision-making typically done by a manager based on his/her past experience and with the available information about the behaviour and interaction between the potential team members. In this work we propose a Multi-Agent System that provides information about the possible overall behaviour of a work team and present the first results obtained.
