An optimization query asks for one or more data objects that maximize or minimize some function over the data set. We propose a general class of queries, model-based optimization ...
Requirements elicitation involves the construction of large sets of conceptual models. An important step in the analysis of these models is checking their consistency. Existing re...
This paper presents a decentralized task allocation method that can handle allocation of tasks with time and precedence constraints in a multi-agent setting where not all informat...

When new technologies for production and dissemination of information emerge and are adopted, we see a dramatic increase in the quantity of information that is made available for ...
This paper addresses distributed task allocation in complex scenarios modeled using the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) formalism. We propose and evaluate a nov...
