Integrating a Distributed and Heterogeneous Organisation Using Constraint Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
The Internet globally connects a great deal of diverse and heterogeneous information resources, which an agent can dynamically combine in order to synthesise new information. An agent society is used to facilitate a common project within globally distributed, heterogeneous organisations. Besides coordinating a finite number of variables, the agents are used to iron out cultural differences within the organisations to ensure the overall success of the shared project. Constraint programming is used to compute schedules, to translate cultural dependent meaning of terms and to serve as a carrier for unambiguous information exchange for the negotiation based co-ordination process.

Modeling of Constraints in Distributed Object-Oriented Environment By CHHANDA RAY DISSERTATION SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (ENGINEERING)
Object Oriented Data Modeling is gaining popularity because of its elegance in representing real world situations. On the other hand, Integrity constraints traditionally form an essential part of schema definition. In this context, Modeling of constraints in Object Oriented Model has been the focus of attention of many researchers in recent times. Integrating data from many heterogeneous source...
متن کاملComparing Mixed-Integer and Constraint Programming for the No-Wait Flow Shop Problem with Due Date Constraints
The impetus for this research was examining a flow shop problem in which tasks were expected to be successively carried out with no time interval (i.e., no wait time) between them. For this reason, they should be completed by specific dates or deadlines. In this regard, the efficiency of the models was evaluated based on makespan. To solve the NP-Hard problem, we developed two mathematical mode...
متن کاملAn Environment for Designing / Executing Constraint
Constraint logic programming is a paradigm based on the notion of constraints and mechanisms for their resolution. The new concept of solver collaboration enables to solve problems that cannot be tackled or eeciently solved with a single solver. We propose BALI, an environment for designing/executing solver collaborations. BALI is a heterogeneous distributed col-laborative problem solving syste...
متن کاملFrom Solver Collaboration Expressions to Communicating and Coordinated Agents
In order to deal with constraint solvers integration, re-usability and cooperation, we have designed a domain independent environment for constraint solver collaboration. A high level language for composing solvers using collaboration and control primitives allows one designing solver collaborations that are then automatically implemented. In this paper we are concerned with the intermediate st...
متن کاملAgent-Oriented and Constraint Technologies for Distributed Transaction Management
Multi-agent systems provide an ideal level of abstraction for facing complex applications where heterogeneous entities need to interact with each other and with legacy software. In Distributed Database Management Systems (DDBMSs) diierent databases need to be accessed and a continuous interaction between the database managers is required for completing a transaction. For these reasons, the appl...
