Asynchronous aggregation and consistency in distributed constraint satisfaction
Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) have been very successful in problem-solving tasks ranging from resource allocation and scheduling to configuration and design. Increasingly...

Minimization of Locally Defined Submodular Functions by Optimal Soft Arc Consistency
Submodular function minimization is a polynomially-solvable combinatorial problem. Unfortunately the best known general-purpose algorithms have high-order polynomial time complexi...

Convergence and rate of convergence of a simple ant model
We present a simple ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population compute...

Relational consistency by constraint filtering
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for enforcing relational consistency on every set of k constraints of a finite Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). This algorithm ope...

Algebraic interval constraint driven exploration in human-agent collaborative problem solving
—To enable effective human-agent collaboration, new human-centric computing paradigms are needed. This paper presents a soft constraint representation scheme based on generalized...
