This paper presents a novel, unified distributed constraint satisfaction framework based on automated negotiation. The Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem (DCSP) is one t...
Two methods are described for enhancing performance of branch and bound methods for overconstrained CSPS. These methods improve either the upper or lower bound, respectively, duri...
In this paper, we describe an approach for automatically generating configurations for complex applications. Automated generation of system co nfigurations is required to allow lar...

Abstract. In this paper we develop a localized value-ordering heuristic for distributed resource allocation problems. We show how this value ordering heuristics can be used to achi...
Evolutionary algorithms have employed the SAW (Stepwise Adaptation of Weights) method in order to solve CSPs (Constraint Satisfaction Problems). This method originated in hill-clim...
