I do hope you are working on a paper (or papers) to submit to CP 09. The submission site is now open, so get writing and submitting!
I have been advised that I will soon be inundated with requests for deadline extensions. To forestall this, I am going to grant now a SHORT but FINAL extension of 2.5 days. The previously announced deadline was Monday April 27th. The new deadline (i.e. when the submission site will close) will be 12 Noon BST, Thursday 30th April. (BST is GMT+1/UTC+1). This deadline will NOT be extended except in the case of natural disasters. I would specially draw your attention to one point. This year, short papers (8 pages or less) are strongly encouraged. If you have a contribution of the right quality, but you think may not stretch to 15 pages, please consider this option. The status of short papers will be as high as long papers, because long papers will NOT be cut down after review: i.e. a long paper which is rejected will be rejected, not revised in short form. Short papers will be eligible for the best paper prize and for full length presentation. Below please find a summary of the call for papers. A lot more details on the submission process are at: http://centria.di.fct.unl.pt/conferences/cp2009/submission.html I hope to see you in Lisbon in September.

It is concerned with all aspects of computing with constraints, including theory, algorithms, applications, environments, languages, models, and systems. CP 2009 includes a technical programme, where presentations of research and application papers and invited talks will describe the best results and techniques in the state-of- the-art of constraint programming. One day of Workshops precedes the conference. Tutorials and the Doctoral Programme will form part of the main programme. Submission Guidelines ===================== Papers are solicited from all disciplines concerned with constraints. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full-length papers are limited to 15 LNCS pages. Short papers are also encouraged, limited to 8 pages. These will be reviewed to the same standards of quality as full papers, but will naturally contain less quantity of new material. Short papers will have the same status as long papers and be eligible for the best paper prize. As well as a best paper prize, a small number of other papers will be recognised as the best submissions to the conference. Contributions of research papers may be theoretical, empirical, or some combination of the two. The programme committee is instructed to judge each type of contribution equally, and contains theoretical and empirical experts suited to assess papers of all types. Reports on successful applications of constraint technology are particularly encouraged and are subject to special Applications Track acceptance criteria. Submission is made online via the conference website.
