Methods for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) have emerged as key techniques for distributed reasoning. Yet, their application faces significant hurdles...
Certain problems in connection with, for example, cooperating agents and distributed systems require reasoning about time which is measured on incomparable or unsynchronized time ...
