Solving a Two-Period Cooperative Advertising Problem Using Dynamic Programming

Cooperative advertising is a cost-sharing mechanism in which a part of retailers' advertising investments are financed by the manufacturers. In recent years, investment among advertising options has become a difficult marketing issue. In this paper, the cooperative advertising problem with advertising options is investigated in a two-period horizon in which the market share in the second period...

A Multiagent System-approach for the Design of Information Systems in Virtual Organizations

This paper presents a design approach for information systems of virtual organizations which is based on the Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) concept of Multiagent Systems (MAS). Viewing information retrieval within modern organizations as an inherently distributed problem we first evaluate in how far the main DAI architectures (Distributed Problem Solving (DPS), Cooperative Distribute...

12th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems '92, pp.614{621 Distributed Constraint Satisfaction for Formalizing Distributed Problem Solving

Viewing cooperative distributed problem solving (CDPS) as distributed constraint satisfaction provides a useful formalism for characterizing CDPS techniques. In this paper, we describe this formalism and compare algorithms for solving distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DCSPs). In particular, we present our newly developed technique called asynchronous backtracking that allows agents ...
