ABSTRACT
Efficient collaboration is the cornerstone of most successful projects and organizations are increasingly seeking tools to optimize their team formation processes. In this paper, we introduce an agent-based simulator designed for team formation in open collaboration settings, specifically innovation hackathons. The tool models and simulates three distinct team formation approaches: bottom-up team formation, where users self-organize with minimal algorithm intervention, top-down team formation, and hybrid team formation. With a broad range of customizable parameters, our tool can serve as a digital twin for collaboration within organizations, permitting organizational decision-makers to design tailored scenarios according to their team formation requirements, utilize existing models or develop their own, and evaluate the effectiveness of their team building approaches prior to real-world implementation.
