This paper presents a distributed architecture for the management and retrieval of particular objects called POIsmarts. POIsmarts can be considered as the convergence between virt...
We propose a new algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs). Our algorithm, called DyBop, is based on branch and bound search with dynamic ordering ...
