8. Bibliography

In the following, we provide references to papers that either were referenced on the previous slides or that were a source for us when putting together this tutorial. Please note that therefore this bibliography is in no way a complete overview of distributed knowledge-based search and distributed constraint reasoning. We first present the references (in a short form) following the structure of the tutorial and then provide the complete references in lexicographical order. Overviews of Distributed Constraint Reasoning: [Hamadi 99a] PhD thesis (in French) [Yokoo 01] book [Silaghi 02a] PhD thesis Frameworks for Distributed Constraint Satisfaction [ZhaMac 91] Each agent is responsible for enforcing a part of the constraints [Yokoo 98] Each variable's domain is the secret of one agent [SilHaFal 00b] Each constraint's relation is the secret of one agent [MesJim 00] Agents stand for variables and each constraint's relation is the secret of one of the agents standing for a variable involved in it [Hannebauer 00] Separate agents knowing each constraint and each variable's domain [Silaghi 04] constraints not known to anybody, defined as functions on agents' secret inputs each agent gets the result of a function on inputs and a solution to the constraints Overviews of Distributed Search: [Denzinger 00]
