A method and apparatus is disclosed for assigning a plurality agents associated with and monitoring devices to at least one manager in a distributed system, wherein the distributed system is arranged into a plurality of groups, each group associated with a manager, the method comprising the steps of identifying sets of agents wherein each set of agents includes at least one common association, assigning each of the sets of agents to at least one manager and, iteratively improving the assignment of each of the sets of agents until at least one desired criterion is substantially achieved. In one aspect, the sets of agents are continuously assigned until the total number of agents assigned to a manger is less than a predetermined number. In another aspect, the sets of agents are assigned until the total number of agent repetitions is less than a predetermined number. In still another aspect, the assigning of the sets of agents is continued until the maximum difference in the number of agents between any two partitions is less than a predetermined number.
