Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are direct to computer methods and systems that optimally assign resources for facilitating the execution of tasks. The methods and systems filter available resources for executing a task based on at least one criterion, to produce a set of selected resources. The methods and systems, for each of the selected resources, calculate an impact value associated with assigning the respective selected resource to execute the task. The methods and systems rank the selected resources according to the calculated impact values and generate an optimized schedule for the task based on the ranking of the selected resources. The methods and systems may further program a computer application or cause operation of a device in accordance with the generated optimized schedule for executing the task.
