Learning Optimal Temperature Region for Solving Mixed Integer Functional DCOPs
Saaduddin Mahmud, Md. Mosaddek Khan, Moumita Choudhury +2
Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) are an important framework for modeling coordinated decision-making problems in multi-agent systems with a set of discrete vari…
AED: An Anytime Evolutionary DCOP Algorithm
Saaduddin Mahmud, Moumita Choudhury, Md. Mosaddek Khan +2
Evolutionary optimization is a generic population-based metaheuristic that can be adapted to solve a wide variety of optimization problems and has proven very effective for combina…
Acyclic Games and Iterative Voting
Reshef Meir, Maria Polukarov, Jeffrey S. Rosenschein +1
We consider iterative voting models and position them within the general framework of acyclic games and game forms. More specifically, we classify convergence results based on the…
An Anytime Algorithm for Optimal Coalition Structure Generation
Talal Rahwan, Sarvapali Dyanand Ramchurn, Nicholas Robert Jennings +1
Coalition formation is a fundamental type of interaction that involves the creation of coherent groupings of distinct, autonomous, agents in order to efficiently achieve their indi…
A Hierarchical Dynamic Programming Algorithm for Optimal Coalition Structure Generation
Meritxell Vinyals, Thomas Voice, Sarvapali Ramchurn +1
We present a new Dynamic Programming (DP) formulation of the Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) problem based on imposing a hierarchical organizational structure over the agents.…
Multi-Issue Negotiation with Deadlines
S. S. Fatima, N. R. Jennings, M. J. Wooldridge
This paper studies bilateral multi-issue negotiation between self-interested autonomous agents. Now, there are a number of different procedures that can be used for this process; t…
