Forwarded message from [henz@comp.nus.edu.sg (Martin Henz)] sent originally on Fri, 21 Jan 2000 13:46:56 +0800 (GMT-8): : Sixth International Conference on : Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming : : September 18-22, 2000, Singapore : : http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cp2000 : : CALL FOR PAPERS : : Constraints have emerged as the basis of a representational and : computational paradigm that draws from many disciplines and can be : brought to bear on many problem domains. The conference is concerned : with all aspects of computing with constraints including: algorithms, : applications, environments, languages, models, systems. Contributions : are welcome from any discipline concerned with constraints, including: : artificial intelligence, combinatorial algorithms, computational : logic, concurrent computation, databases, discrete mathematics, : operations research, programming languages, symbolic computation. We : also solicit papers from any domain employing constraints, including: : computational linguistics, configuration, decision support, design, : diagnosis, graphics, hardware verification, molecular biology, : planning, qualitative reasoning, real-time systems, resource : allocation, robotics, scheduling, software engineering, temporal : reasoning, vision, visualization, user interfaces. Papers that bridge : disciplines or combine theory and practice are especially welcome. : : Important dates : : Submissions of workshop/tutorial proposals: February 15, 2000 : Submissions of abstracts: March 11, 2000 : Submissions of papers: March 15, 2000 : Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2000 : Camera-ready papers due: June 30, 2000 : : Conference site : : Located in Southeast Asia, the Republic of Singapore is a safe and : clean city-state. Known as the Lion City, Singapore is a modern : metropolis with one of the world's busiest ports and a world-class : airport. At the same time, the small tropical island has retained many : elements of its colonial past. The multiethnic nature of the : population provides a rich and varied cultural, religious, and : linguistic heritage. The conference will be take place at a hotel in : the city center to be announced soon. : : Submissions : : Papers must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere. : Research papers can be up to 15 proceedings pages, and poster papers : can be up to 5 pages. Submission should be done by sending two emails : to cp2000@ics.uci.edu : : The first email (to be received by March 11) should have the subject : "CP2000 Abstract: " followed by the paper title. The body of this : first email should contain the title, authors and a short abstract of : the paper, all in plain text. The second email (by March 15) should : have subject "CP2000 Paper: " followed by the paper title. The body : of this second email should contain a postscript file. All authors : must be prepared to send a hardcopy by fast airmail upon request. : Authors who are unable to submit electronically can mail five paper : copies to the program chair, to arrive on or before the submission : deadline. : : Publication : : The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture : Notes in Computer Science series. A special issue of the Constraints : journal (Kluwer Academic Publishers) is planned, based on selected : papers. : : Workshops and Tutorials : : Workshops and tutorials are planned for Monday, September 18, and : Friday, September 22, 2000. Workshop and tutorial proposals should : be submitted to the workshop chair Toby Walsh via email at : tw@cs.york.ac.uk by February 15, 2000. : : Conference Chair : : Roland Yap : School of Computing : National University of Singapore : S16, Level 5, 3 Science Drive 2 : Singapore 117543, Republic of Singapore : Phone: +65 874-2972 : Fax: +65 779-4580 : ryap@comp.nus.edu.sg : : Program Chair : : Rina Dechter : Information and Computer Science : University of California : Irvine CA 92697-3425, USA : Phone: +1 (949) 824-6556 : Fax: +1 (949) 824-4056 : dechter@ics.uci.edu : cp2000@ics.uci.edu : : Workshop Chair : : Toby Walsh : Department of Computer Science : The University of York : Heslington : YORK, YO10 5DD, United Kingdom : Phone: +44 1904 432722 : Fax: +44 1904 432767 : tw@cs.york.ac.uk : : Program Committee : : Krzysztof Apt (CWI), : Roberto Bayardo (IBM, Almaden), : Peter van Beek (University of Alberta), : Alexander Bockmayr (LORIA), : Alex Brodsky (George Mason University), : Philippe Codognet (University of Paris, 6), : Boi Faltings (LIA-EPFL), : Ian Gent (University of Strathclyde), : John Hooker (CMU), : Joxan Jaffar (National University of Singapore), : Peter Jeavons (Oxford University), : Henry Kautz (AT&T Labs), : Manolis Koubarakis (Technical University of Crete), : Michael Maher (Griffith University), : Jean-Francois Puget (ILOG), : Barbara Smith (University of Leeds), : Francesca Rossi (University of Padova), : Helmut Simonis (Cosytec), : Christian Schulte (Univ. des Saarlandes), : Makoto Yokoo (NTT) : : Organizing Committee : : Alan Borning (Univ. of Washington), : Alex Brodsky (George Mason University), : Jacques Cohen (Brandeis Univ.), : Alain Colmerauer (Univ. of Marseille), : Eugene Freuder, chair (Univ. of New Hampshire), : Herve.
