Voting protocols ensure the consistency of replicated objects by requiring all read and write requests to collect an appropriate quorum of replicas. We propose to replace some of ...
Consistencies are properties of Constraint Networks (CNs) that can be exploited in order to make inferences. When a significant amount of such inferences can be performed, CNs ar...
A key problem when forming effective coalitions of autonomous agents is determining the best groupings, or the optimal coalition structure, to select to achieve some goal. To this...

Several researchers have shown that the efficiency of value iteration, a dynamic programming algorithm for Markov decision processes, can be improved by prioritizing the order of...
Abstract. Many agent coordination problems can be modeled as distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs). ADOPT is an asynchronous and distributed search algorithm that is...
