A distributed constraint optimization approach for coordination under uncertainty
James Atlas · 2009
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) provides a rich framework for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. We present a mapping to DCOP for large-scale team coordination problems that were used in the DARPA Coordinators program. We develop a new DCOP algorithm that scales to this domain and show that our algorithm out-performs other DCOP algorithms for this domain. Our approach is competitive with other general approaches used in the DARPA Coordinators program.
