Agents engaged in noncooperative interaction may seek to achieve a Nash equilibrium; this requires that agents be aware of others’ rewards. Misinformation about rewards leads to...
: This paper shows how the Asynchronous Backtracking (Yokoo et al., 1998) algorithm, a well known distributed constraint satisfaction algorithm, produces unnecessary messages and i...
Abstract— We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize an objective function that can be written as the sum of component functions, each of ...
Organising large-scale Web information retrieval systems into hierarchies of topic-specific search resources can improve both the quality of results and the efficient use of com...
This paper addresses distributed task allocation in complex scenarios modeled using the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) formalism. We propose and evaluate a nov...
