Maintaining Soft Arc Consistencies in BnB-ADOPT + during Search [chapter]

Patricia Gutierrez, Jimmy H. M. Lee, Ka Man Lei, Terrence W. K. Mak, Pedro Meseguer
2013 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
To summarize, we propose methods to maintaining soft arc consistencies in every subproblem during search.  ...  Our goal is to maintain soft arc consistencies in each subproblem, so that variable assignments during search are also considered in consistency enforcement.  ...

Including Soft Global Constraints in DCOPs [chapter]

Christian Bessiere, Patricia Gutierrez, Pedro Meseguer
2012 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
In addition, we explore the relation of global constraints with soft local consistency in DCOPs, in particular for the generalized soft arc consistency (GAC) level.  ...  We extend the distributed search algorithm BnB-ADOPT + to support these representations of global constraints.  ...  Following the technique proposed in [6] , we maintain GAC during search performing only unconditional deletions, so we call it unconditional generalized arc consistency (UGAC). 5 An agent self deletes  ...

Adding laziness in BnB-ADOPT+

Jimmy H. M. Lee, Pedro Meseguer, Wen Su
2014 Constraints  
This approach combines nicely with soft arc consistency maintenance during search. We provide experimental evidence of the benefits of this approach on several benchmarks.  ...  In distributed constraint optimization, agents executing BnB-ADOPT + react eagerly to cost changes: they send non-redundant COST messages to their parents as soon as they receive new messages.  ...  COMBINING WITH SOFT ARC CONSISTENCY MAINTENANCE. The connection of this approach with maintaining soft arc consistency (AC) during search [2] does not present any theoretical difficulty.  ...

Global Constraints in Distributed Constraint Satisfaction and Optimization

C. Bessiere, I. Brito, P. Gutierrez, P. Meseguer
2013 Computer journal  
We explore the relation of global constraints with local consistency (both in the hard and soft cases), in particular for generalized arc consistency (GAC).  ...  We use the following global constraints in the modelling: atleast [t, v](Vars) (value v has to appear at least t times in the assignment of the variables in Vars), atmost [t, v](Vars) (value v has to appear  ...  This was already investigated in [10] , where limited/full forms of arc consistency (AC) were maintained during ABT execution for binary DisCSPs.  ...

Enforcing Full Arc Consistency in Asynchronous Forward Bounding Algorithm

Rachid Adrdor, Lahcen Koutti
2022 Journal of Communications Software and Systems  
In this paper, to clear more and more suboptimal values from a DCOP, we use a higher level of DAC * called Full Directional Arc Consistency (FDAC * ).  ...  It uses Directional Arc Consistency (DAC * ) to remove, from domains of a given DCOP, values that do not belong to its optimal solution.  ...  Soft Arc Consistency Techniques Soft arc consistency techniques are used when solving a given problem to delete values that are not part of the optimal solution of that problem.  ...

Asynchronous Forward-Bounding algorithm with Directional Arc Consistency

Rachid Adrdor, Lahcen Koutti
2021 International Conference on Logic Programming  
For that, we use in this paper a higher consistency level, which is a directional arc consistency (DAC * ).  ...  It is based on soft arc consistency techniques (AC * ) to speed up the process of solving a problem by permanently removing any value that doesn't belong to the optimal solution.  ...  Algorithms with various search strategies have been suggested to solve DCOPs, for example, Adopt [4] , BnB-Adopt [5] , BnB-Adopt + [6] , SyncBB [7] , AFB [3] , AFB_BJ + [8] , AFB_BJ + -AC * [9,  ...

2012 Progress in Artificial Intelligence  
We devote special attention to constraint solving, covering popular topics such as search, inference (especially arc consistency), combination of search and inference, symmetry exploitation, global constraints  ...  Research on constraints started in the early 1970s.

Improving DPOP with Branch Consistency for Solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems [chapter]

Ferdinando Fioretto, Tiep Le, William Yeoh, Enrico Pontelli, Tran Cao Son
2014 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
This paper addresses these two limitations by introducing an algorithm, called BrC-DPOP, that exploits arc consistency and a form of consistency that applies to paths in pseudo-trees to reduce the size  ...  The DCOP model has gained momentum in recent years thanks to its ability to capture problems that are naturally distributed and cannot be realistically addressed in a centralized manner.  ...  The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the sponsoring organizations  ...
