Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...
Abstract. The rapid evolution of real-time multimedia applications requires Quality of Service (QoS) based multicast routing in underlying computer networks. The constrained Steine...
We present a hybrid solver (called GELATO) that exploits the potentiality of a Constraint Programming (CP) environment (Gecode) and of a Local Search (LS) framework (EasyLocal++ )....

We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...
