Abstract:

Global constraints have been crucial for the advancement of centralized constraint processing. Here, we propose the inclusion of global constraints in distributed constraint satisfaction. We detail how this inclusion can be done, considering different decompositions for global contraints. In the context of the ABT algorithm, we provide experimental evidence of their benefits on several benchmarks.
