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. Additionally, an iterative any-time algorithm Compression-DPOP (C-DPOP) is presented that is based on the Distributed Pseudo-tree Opti- mization Procedure (DPOP). C-DPOP iteratively samples the search space in order to handle problems that are restricted by time and memory limitations. The performance of the algorithm is examined through a mobile sensor coordination problem. The proposed algorithm outperforms DPOP with uniform sampling regarding both resource requirement and performance. © 2018 European Control Association (EUCA). |
