Distributed constraint optimization for continuous mobile sensor coordination

DCOP (Distributed Constraint optimization Problem) is a framework for representing distributed multi- agent problems. However, it only allows discrete values for the decision variables, which limits its application for real-world problems. In this paper, an extension of DCOP is investigated to handle variables with continuous domains....

Avoiding simplification strategies by introducing multi-objectiveness in real world problems

In business analysis, models are sometimes oversimplified. We pragmatically approach many problems with a single financial objective and include monetary values for non-monetary variables. We enforce constraints which may not be as strict in reality. Based on a case in distributed energy production, we illustrate how we can avoid simplification...
