Abstract

Role transfer is a usual activity in an organization, particularly in a crisis situation. Role assignment and transfer regulations are important to accomplish it. This paper discusses the general role transfer problem; proposes a role specification mechanism; builds a set of terminologies for role transfer based on a revised environment-class, agent, role, group, and object model; and presents algorithms to validate role transfer while maintaining group viability. The contributions include formulating the problem of role transfer in a generalized form, developing a set of algorithms, and presenting a solution when group members are insufficient.
