CALL FOR WORKSHOPS CP-AI-OR 2009 Sixth International Conference on Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems May 27-31, 2009 Pittsburgh, PA www.cpaior.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The CP-AI-OR program committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program, to be held in conjunction with the conference. Workshops provide a forum for researchers from constraint programming (CP), artificial intelligence (AI), and operations research (OR), to exchange ideas in an informal setting. Workshops provide an opportunity to disseminate work in progress, or to promote new and emerging areas within the field of combinatorial optimization and its applications. The Workshop Program will take place on May 28th, as a pre-conference event, alongside the two-day Constraint Programming Tutorial. Potential workshops topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Relaxation methods, e.g. constraint propagation, cutting planes, global constraints, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, convex and Lagrangian relaxations, heuristic functions based on constraint relaxation. 2. Search methods, e.g. branch and bound, intelligent backtracking, incomplete search, randomized search, column generation and other decomposition methods, local search, meta-heuristics. 3. Integration methods, e.g. static/dynamic problem decomposition, solver communication, transformations between models and solvers, collaboration between concurrent methods, models, and solvers. 4. Modeling methods, e.g., comparison of models, symmetry breaking, uncertainty, dominance relationships. 5. Particular application areas of CP/AI/OR techniques. 6. Implementation of CP/AI/OR techniques and Optimization Systems. Workshop organizers will be responsible for providing a call for papers and a website, for additional publicity, for reviewing submissions, and for formulating the technical program. The CP-AI-OR conference will provide local support. Workshop participants must register for CP-AI-OR, but there will be no additional fee for attending a workshop. Workshop proposals should be sent by email to Willem-Jan van Hoeve (vanho...@andrew.cmu.edu). Workshop proposal submissions should include the following information: - Title and brief description of the workshop - Motivation why the workshop is of interest to CP-AI-OR - Description of the workshop format - The names of the proposed organizing committee - Contact information of the principal proposed organizer(s) Important Dates December 21, 2008 - Workshop proposals due January 11, 2009 - Notification of acceptance February 15 - Workshop call for papers and website ready Conference Organizers and Program Chairs John Hooker, Carnegie Mellon University Willem-Jan van Hoeve, Carnegie Mellon University --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
