A Multi-stage Graph Decomposition Algorithm for Distributed Constraint Optimisation
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to solving the distributed constraint optimisation problem (DCOP) that guarantees completeness, while having linear communication comple...

A Multi-agent Mechanism for Topology Balancing in Unstructured P2P Networks
Unstructured P2P networks can grow in an ad-hoc and give rise to scale-free graphs where most of the nodes form clusters or hubs around few resourceful nodes. This leads to conges...

Toward Inductive Logic Programming for Collaborative Problem Solving
In this paper, we tackle learning in distributed systems and the fact that learning does not necessarily involve the participation of agents directly in the inductive process itse...
