The Distributed Probabilistic Protocol (DPP) is a new, approximate algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSPs) that exploits prior knowledge to impr...
Interacting agents that interleave planning and execution must reach consensus on their commitments to each other. In domains where agents have varying degrees of interaction and ...
In this paper we present a cooperative negotiation protocol that solves a distributed resource allocation problem while conforming to soft real-time constraints in a dynamic envir...

We study how constraint-based static analysis can be applied to the automated and systematic debugging of program errors. Strongly moding and constraint-based mode analysis are tur...
