Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems


(text version)

Previous edition @ CP2005

New: Provisional schedule



This workshop will address recent progress in techniques for solving constraint satisfaction problems where variables, constraints, optimization criteria or any combination of these are distributed among a set of agents.
Recent years have seen increasing interest in this topic, and algorithms have recently become efficient enough so that practical applications can be considered.

With respect to other workshops, this workshop will place a particular emphasis on applications. We particularly welcome papers that discuss the performance and adequacy of algorithms on real and foreseen applications. We also solicit papers that propose good benchmark problems for distributed constraint satisfaction.
