Forwarded message from [henz@comp.nus.edu.sg] sent originally on Mon, 20 Dec 1999 19:06:37 +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 abstracts: March 11, 2000 : Submissions of papers: March 15, 2000 : Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2000 : Camera-ready papers due: June 30, 2000 : : 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. : : For authors who are unable to submit electronically, five paper copies : can be mailed 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 Friday, September 22, 2000. : Workshop and tutorial proposals can be submitted to the workshop chair : (to be announced) by approximately February 15, 2000. Details will be : available soon. : : 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, USA : Phone: +1 (949) 824-6556 : Fax: +1 (949) 824-4056 : dechter@ics.uci.edu : cp2000@ics.uci.edu : : Program Committee : : To Be Announced : : Workshop Chair : : To Be Announced : : Organizing Committee : : A.
