In this paper, we focus on the problem of forming multiple teams of experts with diverse skills in social network to accomplish complex tasks of required skills. The goal is to maximize the total profit of tasks that these teams can complete. We provide a simple and practical algorithm that improves upon previous results in many situations.enA simple greedy algorithm for the profit-aware social team formation problemconference proceedings
