Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for allocating resources to items are provided. One or more assignment scores for each item/resource pair are determined by applying one or more application-specific strategies to each item/resource pair using game theory. A cost matrix is created by first summing the assignment scores for each item/resource pair and then multiplying each assignment score sum by an assignment cost associated with assignment a particular resource to a particular item. Finally, an assignment solution is found by applying a Hungarian method to the cost matrix.
