Abstract
The invention provides a method for processing a task. The method comprising rules which constrain an allocation of the task; defining constraints which constrain application of the rules; expressing the allocation of the task as a constraint satisfaction problem based on the rules and the constraints; and resolving the constraint satisfaction problem.
