Distributed Guided Local Search for Solving Binary DisCSPs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the Distributed Guided Local Search (DistGLS) algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems. Our algorithm is based on the centralised Guided Local Search algorithm, which is extended with additional heuristics in order to enhance its efficiency in distributed scenarios. We discuss the strategies we use for dealing with local optima in the search for solutions and compare performance of Dist-GLS with that of Distributed Breakout (DBA). In addition, we provide the results of our experiments with distributed versions of random binary constraint satisfaction and graph colouring problems.

A hybrid approach to solving coarse-grained DisCSPs
A coarse-grained Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem (DisCSP) consists of several loosely connected constraint satisfaction subproblems, each assigned to an individual agent. We present Multi-Hyb, a two-phase concurrent hybrid approach for solving DisCSPs. In the first phase, each agent’s subproblem is solved using systematic search which generates the key partial solutions to the globa...
متن کاملSolving DisCSPs with Penalty Driven Search
We introduce the Distributed, Penalty-driven Local search algorithm (DisPeL) for solving Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems. DisPeL is a novel distributed iterative improvement algorithm which escapes local optima by the use of both temporary and incremental penalties and a tabu-like no-good store. We justify the use of these features and provide empirical results which demonstrate th...
متن کاملDisBO-wd: a Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Algorithm for Coarse-Grained Distributed Problems
We present a distributed iterative improvement algorithm for solving coarse-grained distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DisCSPs). Our algorithm is inspired by the Distributed Breakout for coarse-grained DisCSPs where we introduce a constraint weight decay and a constraint weight learning mechanism in order to escape local optima. We also introduce some randomisation in order to give t...
متن کاملCP 04 Tutorial : Distributed Constraints Satisfaction Algorithms , Performance , Communication ?
Distributed constraints satisfaction problems (DisCSPs) have been studied for over a decade. The first distributed search algorithm was asynchronous backtracking, which is still the most studied. In the last few years, several new families of distributed search algorithms have been investigated and comparative experimental studies are encouraging. A natural extension to distributed constraints ...
متن کاملConcurrent search for distributed CSPs
A distributed concurrent search algorithm for distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DisCSPs) is presented. Concurrent search algorithms are composed of multiple search processes (SPs) that operate concurrently and scan non-intersecting parts of the global search space. Each SP is represented by a unique data structure, containing a current partial assignment (CPA), that is circulated am...
