  abstract =	 { We show how the Asynchronous Backtracking
                  Algorithm, a well known distributed constraint
                  satisfaction algorithm, produces unnecessary
                  messages. Our new optimized algorithm reduces the
                  number of messages by implementing message
                  management mechanism. Tests show our algorithm
                  significantly reduces the total number of messages
                  sent and drastically reduces the number of cycles
                  used when solving instances of the graph coloring
                  problem.},
