The idea is to decompose the problem into subproblems each of which is solved by activating an agent who has a particular view of the problem. The procedure repeats itself till a global solution that is compatible with the current anchor solution is found. J. Liu and K. Sycara.

Higher numbers are better from the standpoint of our set of coordination mechanisms.
