The assignment problem is a fundamental aspect of distributed computing. It arises whenever the procedures or modules of a program are distributed over several interconnected computers so that program activity moves among processors as execution proceeds. The program may be serial (only one module active on one processor at a time) or parallel (several modules concurrently active on several processors). The assignment problem deals with the question of assigning modules to processors so as to minimize the cost of running a program. The cost may be time, money or some other measure of resource usage.
