We present a hybrid approach to Distributed Constraint Satisfaction which combines incomplete, fast, penalty-based local search with complete, slower systematic search. Thus, we pr...
We describe an approach for constructing search spaces that consist of highly relevant web pages using similarities between the contents of linked web pages to represent their lin...
