DUCT: An Upper Confidence Bound Approach to Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems
Boi Faltings, Christos Dimitrakakis, Brammert Ottens
We propose a distributed upper confidence bound approach, DUCT, for solving distributed constraint optimization problems. We compare four variants of this approach with a baseline random sampling algorithm, as well as other complete and incomplete algorith ...
Assoc Computing Machinery2017Coordination and Sampling in Distributed Constraint Optimization
The Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) framework can be used to model a wide range of optimization problems that are inherently distributed. A distributed optimization problem can be viewed as a problem distributed over a set of agents, where agent ...
EPFL2012DUCT: An upper confidence bound approach to distributed constraint optimization problems
Boi Faltings, Christos Dimitrakakis, Brammert Ottens
The Upper Confidence Bounds (UCB) algorithm is a well-known near-optimal strategy for the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem. Its extensions to trees, such as the Upper Confidence Tree (UCT) algorithm, have resulted in good solutions to the problem of G ...
2012Global Optimization for Multiple Agents
In many situations, agents optimize their own operations locally but their local problems are interdependent. We consider the problem of coordinating these local problems to find a globally optimal solution. We model the coordination problem as a Distribut ...
2012Ensuring Privacy through Distributed Computation in Multiple-Depot Vehicle Routing Problems
Boi Faltings, Thomas Léauté, Brammert Ottens
The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has been extensively studied over the last twenty years, because it is an abstraction of many real-life logistics problems. In its multiple-depot variant (MDVRP), the routes of vehicles located at various depots must be op ...
2010FRODO 2.0: An Open-Source Framework for Distributed Constraint Optimization
Thomas Léauté, Brammert Ottens, Radoslaw Szymanek
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a field that has recently been getting more and more attention from academia and industry. However, very few open-source, off-the-shelf tools are currently available to solve DCOPs; examples are FRODO, DisChoco ...
