	abstract = { In distributed resource allocation a set of agents must assign their resources to a set of tasks. This problem arises in many real-world domains such
as disaster rescue, hospital scheduling and the domain described in this paper:
distributed sensor networks. Despite the variety of approaches proposed for distributed resource allocation, a systematic formalization of the problem and a general solution strategy are missing. This paper takes a step towards this goal by
proposing a formalization of distributed resource allocation that represents both
dynamic and distributed aspects of the problem and a general solution strategy
that uses distributed constraint satisfaction techniques. This paper defines the notion of Dynamic Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem (DyDCSP) and proposes two generalized mappings from distributed resource allocation to DyDCSP,
each proven to correctly perform resource allocation problems of specific difficulty and this theoretical result is verified in practice by an implementation on a
real-world distributed sensor network},
