چکیده

We show that when agents cooperate in a distributed search problem, they can solve it faster than any agent working in isolation. This is accomplished by having agents exchange hints within a computational ecosystem. We present a quantitative assessment of the value of cooperation for solving constraint satisfaction problems through a series of experiments. Our results suggest an alternative methodology to existing techniques for solving constraint satisfaction problems in computer science and distributed artificial intelligence.
