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...
Researchers in the field of multiagent sequential decision making have commonly used the terms “weakly-coupled” and “loosely-coupled” to qualitatively classify problems i...
This paper presents DisAC-9, the first optimal distributed algorithm performing the arc-consistency of a constraint network. Our method is optimal according to the number of messa...
We propose a new algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs). Our algorithm, called DyBop, is based on branch and bound search with dynamic ordering ...

Most former studies of Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DisCOPs) search considered only complete search algorithms, which are practical only for relatively small prob...
