This paper addresses the problem of identifying the value of information held by a teammate on a distributed, multi-agent team. It focuses on a distributed scheduling task in whic...
In distributed combinatorial optimization problems, dynamic programming algorithms like DPOP ([Petcu and Faltings, 2005]) require only a linear number of messages, thus generating...
The team of engineers designing and implementing distributed control system software must communicate within a multidisciplinary environment. One of the main problems is the intera...
