As the properties of components have gradually become clearer, attention has started to turn to the architectural issues which govern their interaction and composition. In this pa...
Developing scalable coordination algorithms for multi-agent systems is a hard computational challenge. One useful approach, demonstrated by the Coverage Set Algorithm (CSA), explo...
The problem of data cleaning, which consists of removing inconsistencies and errors from original data sets, is well known in the area of decision support systems and data warehou...

We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
Abstract In recent years, the Constraint Programming (CP) and Operations Research (OR) communities have explored the advantages of combining CP and OR techniques to formulate and s...
