Cooperation among autonomous agents has been discussed in the DAI community for several years. Papers about cooperation 6,45 , negotiation 33 , distributed planning 5 , and coalit...
Set variables are ubiquitous in modeling (soft) constraint problems, but efforts on practical consistency algorithms for Weighted Constraint Satisfaction Problems (WCSPs) have onl...
Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) have been very successful in problem-solving tasks ranging from resource allocation and scheduling to configuration and design. Increasingly...
This paper presents a multi-agent oriented method for solving CSPs (Constraint Satisfaction Problems). In this method, distributed agents represent variables and a two-dimensional...
Abstract. The paper presents a new look-ahead scheme for backtracking search for solving constraint satisfaction problems. This look-ahead scheme computes a heuristic for value ord...
