Large Neighborhood Search with Quality Guarantees for Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes Distributed Large Neighborhood Search (DLNS), an incomplete DCOP algorithm that builds on the strengths of centralized LNS. D-LNS: (i) is anytime; (ii) provides guarantees on solution quality (upper and lower bounds); and (iii) can learn online the best neighborhood to explore. Experimental results show that D-LNS outperforms other incomplete DCOP algorithms in random and scale-free network instances.

Solving DCOPs with Distributed Large Neighborhood Search
The field of Distributed Constraint Optimization has gained momentum in recent years, thanks to its ability to address various applications related to multi-agent cooperation. Nevertheless, solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) optimally is NP-hard. Therefore, in large-scale, complex applications, incomplete DCOP algorithms are necessary. Current incomplete DCOP algorithm...
متن کاملWinner Determination in Combinatorial Auctions using Hybrid Ant Colony Optimization and Multi-Neighborhood Local Search
A combinatorial auction is an auction where the bidders have the choice to bid on bundles of items. The WDP in combinatorial auctions is the problem of finding winning bids that maximize the auctioneer’s revenue under the constraint that each item can be allocated to at most one bidder. The WDP is known as an NP-hard problem with practical applications like electronic commerce, production manag...
متن کاملStudent Paper 38: An Asynchronous Complete Method for Distributed Constraint Optimization
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm, called Adopt, for distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). DCOP is able to model a large class of collaboration problems in multi-agent systems where a solution within given quality parameters must be found. Existing methods for DCOP are not able to provide theoretical guarantees on global solution quality while operating both efficiently and asyn...
متن کاملADOPT: Asynchronous Distributed Constraint Optimization with Quality Guarantees ADOPT: Asynchronous Distributed Constraint Optimization with Quality Guarantees
The Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is able to model a wide variety of distributed reasoning tasks that arise in multiagent systems. Unfortunately, existing methods for DCOP are not able to provide theoretical guarantees on global solution quality while allowing agents to operate asynchronously. We show how this failure can be remedied by allowing agents to make local decisio...
متن کاملA novel heuristic algorithm for capacitated vehicle routing problem
The vehicle routing problem with the capacity constraints was considered in this paper. It is quite difficult to achieve an optimal solution with traditional optimization methods by reason of the high computational complexity for large-scale problems. Consequently, new heuristic or metaheuristic approaches have been developed to solve this problem. In this paper, we constructed a new heuristic ...
