Abstract: This paper reports on a simple, stochastic, scalable, peer-topeer algorithm for aproximately solving distributed constraint problems in soft real time. The performance of the algorithm is assessed using k-colorings of random graphs having known chromatic number and edge probability ranging from moderate to high. variables. The hope is that over time the number of constraints that are actually satisfied increases, and that perhaps eventually all of the constraints are satisfied. However, the algorithm is designed to quickly satisfy many constraints with low communication costs, rather than to ensure ultimate perfection;
