Abstract. In this article we will present some problems that have weak symmetries. In contrast to a proper symmetry, a weak symmetry acts only on a subset of the variables and pres...
We propose a surprisingly simple new way of breaking all value symmetries with constraints. Our method requires the addition of one variable per value of the problem plus a linear ...
An algorithm that performs asynchronous backtracking on distributed CSPs, with dynamic ordering of agents is proposed, ABT DO. Agents propose reorderings of lower priority agents a...
In previous work we presented a foundational calculus for spatially distributed computing based on intuitionistic modal logic. With the modalities P and Q we were able to capture t...
The calculus outlined in this paper provides a formal architectural framework for describing and reasoning about the properties of multi-user and mobile distributed interactive sys...
