Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this...
Agile development practices respect tacit knowledge, make communication more effective, and thus foster the knowledge creation process. However the current agile methods, like XP,...
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
