Abstract

To solve a distributed problem in presence of a failed entity, we have to find a way to accomplish the failed entity tasks. In this paper, we present an approach which guarantees the resolution of DisCSPs in presence of failed agents. This approach is based on local CSPs replication principle: each failed agent local CSP is replicated in another agent which will support it. Obtained results confirm that our approach can solve a DisCSP in presence of failed agents by giving a solution when it exists.
