To be held on 25 September 2006 at the 12th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming, Nantes, France

INTRODUCTION

Constraint Programming (CP) is a powerful technology to solve combinatorial problems which are ubiquitous in academia and industry. The last ten years or so have witnessed significant research devoted to modelling and solving problems with constraints. CP is now a mature field and has been successfully used for tackling a wide range of real-life complex applications. However, such a technology is currently accessible to only a small number of experts. For CP to be more widely used by non-experts, more research effort is needed in order to ease the use of the CP technology. We solicit original papers that contribute to widen the use of the CP technology. Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):

PROGRAMME

To be announced.

PARTICIPATION

At least one author of each submission accepted for presentation must attend the workshop to present the contribution. Attendance is limited to active participants only. Workshop attendees need not register for the main CP conference.

SUBMISSIONS

To submit a paper to the workshop, please e-mail to ianm@dcs.st-and.ac.uk a PS or PDF file in LNCS conference style. Papers should not exceed 8 pages. The organising committee will acknowledge all submissions. If a submitted paper is not acknowledged within two working days, please contact the workshop chair. All submissions will be reviewed and those that present a significant contribution to the workshop topics will be accepted for publication in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings will be available electronically [here] and in hard copy on the day of the workshop.
