<abstract displayLabel="Summary">This paper reports a project examining task allocation methods. The methods available in the literature and those used in practice by system designers, working on naval systems, are reviewed. The authors describe the characteristics of a naval environment as an example of an application area for which a task allocation method is required, and specify a set of requirements for methods in this area. The need for a task allocation method has become increasingly evident within the armed services as a result of the increase in automation and the associated aim of reducing staffing levels</abstract>
