Crowdsourcing Workflows: Task Starvation

Some workflows failed to complete due to starvation; after a while, no new workers attempted the available tasks, and the time limit for the experiment expired without the execution of work continuing further.
Task starvation has been observed in other projects, and has been counteracted thought listing optimization or chaining sets of tasks to retain workers.
In the context of the PDS algorithm, starvation occurred most often when a worker marked a task as solvable when, judging by its complexity, it should have been subdivided.
