Sixth International Workshop On Constraint
Modelling and Reformulation
To be held at the 13th International Conference on
Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2007)
Providence, Rhode Island, USA
http://appsrv.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~isl/cp07Model/
September 23, 2007
========================================
================================
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):
- Application papers describing interesting problems and interesting ways
to model them;
- Contributions to understanding modelling that could guide the manual or
automatic formulation of models;
- Identification of the criteria that should be used in evaluating models
and the design of pragmatic techniques that facilitate the choice and
possibly combination among alternative models;
- Design of higher level modelling languages;
- Automatic reformulation techniques.
SUBMISSION
----------
To submit a paper, send an email to Jimmy Lee (jlee@cse.cuhk.edu.hk)
with title, authors' names and emails, name of corresponding author,
and a URL of the submission in postscript or (preferably) in pdf.
Submissions must be formatted in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) style and must not exceed 15 pages. Submissions of shorter
papers, including position papers, are welcome.
All submissions will be reviewed and those that are well written and
make a worthwhile contribution to the topic of the workshop will be
accepted for publication in the workshop proceedings. The proceedings
will be available electronically and in hardcopy at CP 2007. At least
one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop.
THE WORKSHOP
------------
This will be a half-day workshop open to anyone interested in the topic.
The event will have a strong workshop flavour, with ample time allocated to
discussion. All workshop participants must pay the CP 2007 registration
fee in addition to the workshop fee.
The workshop might feature an invited talk.

Submission deadline: Jul 1, 2007
Notification of acceptance: Jul 21, 2007
