Asynchronous Coordination Under Preferences and Constraints
[chapter]
2016
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The main message of this paper is that finding optimal solutions to the coordination with constraints and preferences task requires to design "dynamic" algorithms, that is, algorithms of a completely different ...
Otherwise, the agents must coordinate to resolve their conflicts, and potentially choose non preferred resources. ...
Coordination with constraints and preferences in K x,y is unsolvable for more than one process.
Proof. ...

Coordinating Asynchronous and Open Distributed Systems under Semiring-Based Timing Constraints
2009
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
For asynchronous and open distributed systems, dynamicity, openness, and stringent quality of service requirements pose great challenges to model and develop such systems. ...
In this paper, we focus on coordinating actors and roles through message manipulations based on event-based timing constraints. ...
