Many problems in multi-agent systems can be described as distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (distributed CSPs), where the goal is to nd a set of assignments to variables ...
Storing data in distributed systems aims to offer higher bandwidth and scalability than storing locally. But, a couple of disadvantageous issues must be taken into account such as...
Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
A powerful approach to search is to try to learn a distribution of good solutions (in particular of the dependencies between their variables) and use this distribution as a basis ...
This paper describes the operational characteristics of “CompTorrent”, a general purpose distributed computing platform that provides a low entry cost to creating new distribut...
