Distributed constraint satisfaction, in its most general acceptation, involves a collection of agents solving local constraint satisfaction subproblems, and a communication protoco...
We introduce the multiple capacitated job shop scheduling problem as a generalization of the job shop scheduling problem. In this problem machines may process several operations s...
