We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...
—“Autonomic systems” merge advancements in the field of multi-agent software design, dynamic analysis, and decentralized control in order to assist designers in constructing...
The accelerated development in grid computing has positioned it as a promising next generation computing platform. It enables the creation of virtual organizations (VO) for sharin...

Replicating data objects onto servers across a system can alleviate access delays. The selection of data objects and servers requires solving a constraint optimization problem, wh...
In this paper, we focus on the problem of finding a periodic allocation strategy for teams of resource-bounded agents. We propose a real-time dynamic algorithm RTDA , that exploi...
