Abstract
A system is provided that automatically assigns tasks to resources. The system receives a notification that a resource is about to enter an idle period or has entered the idle period. The system further automatically assigns a filler task or a portion of the filler task to the resource, where the filler task is a task that can be split into multiple portions. The system further receives a notification that the resource is about to exit the idle period or has exited the idle period. The system further automatically un-assigns the filler task or the portion of the filler task from the resource.
