Asynchronous backtracking without adding links: A new member in the ABT family

Following the pioneer work of Yokoo and colleagues on the ABT (asynchronous backtracking) algorithm, several ABT-based procedures have been proposed for solving distributed constraint networks. They differ in the way they store nogoods, but they all use additional communication links between unconne...
