An Algorithm for the Assignment Problem The assignment problem is formulated and briefly discussed. An efficient algorithm for its solution is presented in ALGOL code. An empirical relation between solution time and the size of the problem is given, based on extensive experiments carried out on a digital computer. CACM November, 1960 Silver, R.
