Abstract--The current framework of network utility maximization for rate allocation and its price-based algorithms assumes that each link provides a fixed-size transmission "p...
The Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is able to model a wide variety of distributed reasoning tasks that arise in multiagent systems. Unfortunately, existing met...
