Abstract

In this work, the novel algorithm Bayesian Dynamic Programming Optimization Procedure (B-DPOP) is presented to solve multi-agent problems within the Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem framework. The Bayesian optimization framework is used to prove convergence to the global optimum of the B-DPOP algorithm for Lipschitz-continuous objective functions. The proposed algorithm is assessed based on the benchmark problem known as dynamic sensor placement. Results show increased performance over related algorithms in terms of sample-efficiency.
