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...
A novel style of multi-agent system specification and deployment is described, in which familiar methods from computational logic are re-interpreted to a new context. One view of ...
In distributed constraint optimization problems, dynamic programming methods have been recently proposed (e.g. DPOP). In dynamic programming many valuations are grouped together i...
This paper deals with the replica placement problem on fully homogeneous tree networksknownasthe Replica Placementoptimizationproblem. Theclient requests are known beforehand, whil...
Traditionally, distributed computing problems have been solved by partitioning data into chunks able to be handled by commodity hardware. Such partitioning is not possible in case...
