Background: The protein structure prediction problem is one of the most challenging problems in biological sciences. Many approaches have been proposed using database information ...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a general framework that can model complex problems in multi-agent systems. Several current algorithms that solve general DCOP instan...
Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...
