The Distributed Probabilistic Protocol (DPP) is a new, approximate algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSPs) that exploits prior knowledge to impr...
We reconsider the idea of structural symmetry breaking (SSB) for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). We show that the dynamic dominance checks used in symmetry breaking by dom...

The objective of the Maximal Constraint Satisfaction Problem (Max-CSP) is to find an instantiation which minimizes the number of constraint violations in a constraint network. In t...
The emergence of Internet, Intranet, local area networks, and ad hoc wireless networks introduces a plethora of new problems in information processing. In order to overcome these p...
Abstract. Using mobile agent systems, cooperative distributed applications that run over the Internet can be constructed flexibly. However, there are some problems: it is difficul...
