This paper surveys algorithms for the well-known problem of finding the minimum cost assignment of jobs to agents so that each job is assigned exactly once and agents are not overloaded. All approaches seem to bc based on branch-and-bound with bounds supplied through heuristics and through relaxations of the primal problem formulation. From the survey one can select building blocks for the design of one's own tailor-made algorithm. The survey also reveals that although just about every mathematical programming technique was tried on this problem, there is still a lack of a representative set of test problems on which competing enumeration algorithms can be compared, as well as a shortage of effective heuristics.
