Abstract
The “networked economy” challenges organizations to reconsider their business models. The aim of our work is to assist organizations dealing with challenges concerning team building. In order the deal with questions related to the formation of the best team, we have defined team formation as the process of allocating the set of experts that best fulfils team requirements.
Focusing on how to support the selection of experts for collaborative work, we have formulated team formation as a constraints satisfaction optimization problem solved by extending the iterated hill-climbing search strategy.
