Query: Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems and Applications: A Survey   The field of Multi-Agent System (MAS) is an active area of research within
Artificial Intelligence, with an increasingly important impact in industrial
and other real-world applications. Within a MAS, autonomous agents interact to
pursue personal interests and/or to achieve common objectives. Distributed
Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOPs) have emerged as one of the prominent
agent architectures to govern the agents' autonomous behavior, where both
algorithms and communication models are driven by the structure of the specific
problem. During the last decade, several extensions to the DCOP model have
enabled them to support MAS in complex, real-time, and uncertain environments.
This survey aims at providing an overview of the DCOP model, giving a
classification of its multiple extensions and addressing both resolution
methods and applications that find a natural mapping within each class of
DCOPs. The proposed classification suggests several future perspectives for
DCOP extensions, and identifies challenges in the design of efficient
resolution algorithms, possibly through the adaptation of strategies from
different areas.
