Cluster Tree Elimination for Distributed Constraint Optimization with Quality Guarantees
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...

Asynchronous algorithms for approximate distributed constraint optimization with quality bounds
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a popular framework for cooperative multi-agent decision making. DCOP is NPhard, so an important line of work focuses on developing f...

Improving DPOP with function filtering
DPOP is an algorithm for distributed constraint optimization which has, as main drawback, the exponential size of some of its messages. Recently, some algorithms for distributed c...
