Meetings are an important vehicle for human interaction. The Meeting Scheduling problem (MS) considers several agents, each holding a personal calendar, and a number of meetings wh...
Freuder in (1991) defined interchangeability for classical Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Recently (2002), we extended the definition of interchangeability to Soft CSP...
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...
This paper presents an evaluation of two orthogonal schemes for improving the efficiency of solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). The first scheme involves a class of p...
We present a fully distributed multi-agent planning algorithm. Our methodology uses distributed constraint satisfaction to coordinate between agents, and local planning to ensure ...
