Decoupling schemes of the coupled set.

Number	Decomposition scheme	Quality loss	Development cost	Feature
1	Eight independent tasks		45	Minimum cost and maximum quality cost
2	Coupled sets: (5, 10, 11) and (1, 4, 8, 10, 18)	0.32	361.5	Maximum cost and minimum quality cost
3	Coupled sets: (1, 4, 5, 8) and (10, 11, 17, 18)	1.71	236.1	Medium cost and quality loss
4	Coupled sets: (1, 5, 10, 17) and (4, 8, 11, 17)	2.59	297.6	Alternative solutions
