ASP-DPOP: solving distributed constraint optimization problems with logic programming

Tiep Le, Tran Cao Son, Enrico Pontelli, William Yeoh

Abstract: Researchers have used Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) to model various multi-agent coordination and resource allocation problems. However, existing DCOP algorithms have focused almost exclusively on imperative programming techniques. This paper explores a new direction, which is to develop algorithms that use declarative programming, specifically logic programming, techniques.
