International Workshop on Distributed Constraint Satisfaction
September 22, 2000
http://liawww.epfl.ch/cp2000dcs
Held in conjunction with:
Sixth International Conference on
Principle and Practice of Constraint Programming
(CP2000), Singapore
http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cp2000
The workshop addresses modeling, formulation and solution
of CSPs where variables, constraints or both are
distributed among a set of independent but communicating
agents.
Scientific issues to be discussed at the workshop include:
-unified frameworks for distributed CSP.
-algorithms for solving distributed CSP.
-privacy issues in distributed CSP.
-distributed constraint propagation and consistency.
-over-constrained distributed CSP.
-negotiation among self-interested agents.
-applications of distributed CSP.
Due to the technical advances in multi-agent systems,
Distributed CSPs have become a technology that fits
many real applications. This workshop will provide
an opportunity for researchers to make progress towards
a common understanding and framework in which the
approach can be developed and brought into practice.
