Coordination is the art and science of managing interactions and dependencies among activities and agents in multi-agent systems. Since the coordination problems are NP-complete, there is a notorious difficulty in solving them optimally. Therefore, a heuristic approach that offers near-optimal...

A stochastic model based on the Capacitated Facility Location Allocation problem is developed to find the optimal Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network structure. Given the locations of the peers and their demand distributions in a grid space, the model finds the optimal points in the space to place the...
