Asynchronous Partial Overlay (APO) is a search algorithm that uses cooperative mediation to solve Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSPs). The algorithm partitions ...
The resource-constrained elementary shortest path problem arises as a pricing subproblem in branch-and-price algorithms for vehicle routing problems with additional constraints. W...
Because of privacy concerns, agents may not want to reveal information that could be of use in problem solving. As a result, there are potentially important tradeoffs between main...
Mediator systems integrate distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous data sources, but their e ective use requires the solution of hard query optimization problems. This is usuall...
The efficiency of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems is largely dependent on the overlay constructions. Due to the random selection of logical neighbors, there often exists serious topolog...
