The Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem: Formalization and Algorithms

by Makoto Yokoo, Edmund H. Durfee, Toru Ishida, Kazuhiro Kuwabara - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering , 1998
"... In this paper, we develop a formalism called a distributed constraint satisfaction problem (distributed CSP) and algorithms for solving distributed CSPs. A distributed CSP is a constraint satisfaction problem in which variables and constraints are distributed among multiple agents. Various applica ..."

Strategies for distributed constraint satisfaction problems

by Q. Y. Luo, P. G. Hendry, J. T. Buchanan - In Proc. of the 13th International Workshop on DAI , 1994
"... Constraint satisfaction problems are important in AI. Various distributed and parallel computing strategies have been proposed to solve these problems. In this paper, these strategies are classified as distributed-agent-based, parallel-agent-based, and function-agent-based distributed problem-solvin ..."

An approach to Symmetry Breaking in Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems

by David A. Burke
"... Abstract. Symmetry breaking in Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSPs) has, to the best of our knowledge, not been investigated. In this paper, we show that most symmetries in DisCSPs are actually weak symmetries, and we demonstrate how weak symmetry breaking techniques can be applied ..."

Heuristic Search for Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems

by Q. Y. Luo, P. G. Hendry, J. T. Buchanan - Department of Computer Science, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow , 1993
"... A large number of problems in AI and other areas of computer science can be viewed as special cases of the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). Various distributed and parallel computing approaches have been used to solve these problems. Mainly, these approaches can be classified as variable-based ..."

Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems -- A Model and Application

by G. Solotorevsky, E. Gudes, A. Meisels , 1997
"... A canonical model for distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DCSP) is presented and algorithms for processing constraints on a DCSP are described. The central idea behind a constraint network that is given as a DCSP is the existence of large differences between the cost of message passing amo ..."

On communication in solving distributed constraint satisfaction problems

by Hyuckchul Jung, Milind Tambe - In Multi-Agent Systems and Applications IV, Proc. 4th International Central and Eastern European Conference on Multi-Agent Systems, CEEMAS 2005 , 2005
"... Abstract. Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSP) is a general framework for multi-agent coordination and conflict resolution. In most DCSP algorithms, inter-agent communication is restricted to only exchanging values of variables, since any additional information-exchange is assumed to ..."

Dynamic Agent Ordering in Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems ⋆

by Lingzhong Zhou, John Thornton, Abdul Sattar
"... Abstract. The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalisation used to represent problems in distributed multiagent systems. To deal with realistic problems, multiple local variables may be required within each autonomous agent. A number of heuristics have been developed ..."
