- call for tutorials - call for workshops for the Ninth International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP2003). Steve Prestwich (publicity chair) ==================================================================== Call for Tutorials CP-2003 Ninth International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming September 29 - October 3, 2003 Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland http://www.cs.ucc.ie/cp2003/ ==================================================================== The CP'2003 Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial Program. CP'2003 tutorials are ideally targeted at the whole constraint community and should give a state of the art description of a field of research related to constraint programming or of a large area of application. As an example, the topics of tutorials in the previous CP conferences were: numerical CSPs, global constraints, soft constraints, mathematical programming, cooperation between methods, areas of application (eg. bioinformatics), etc. Tutorials will take place during the technical program. Important Dates: - May 15, 2003: Proposal submission deadline - June 15, 2003: Acceptance notification - September 30-October 3: CP technical program and tutorials Proposals for tutorials should contain the following information: - The title and a brief technical description of the tutorial, specifying the goals and the technical issues it will focus on. - A brief discussion of why and to whom the tutorial is of interest. - The name and email address of the main organizer. More information is available on the web page of the conference. All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail (in ASCII), to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tutorial chair: Christian Bessiere LIRMM-CNRS France ==================================================================== Call for Workshops CP-2003 Ninth International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming September 29 - October 3, 2003 Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland http://www.cs.ucc.ie/cp2003/ ==================================================================== The CP'2003 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop Program. CP'2003 workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that facilitates the active exchange of ideas. It is an opportunity to disseminate work in progress or to promote new and emerging areas within the field of constraints. The topics of the workshops can cover any area related to constraints and any related cross-disciplinary areas. Workshops are planned for Monday, September 29, 2003. Workshops will be half-day long, except special cases motivated by the organizers. The internal format of the workshop will be determined by the organizers. Workshop attendees must pay the CP workshop registration fee in addition to the CP'2003 registration fee. Important Dates: - March 31, 2003: Proposal submission deadline - April 20, 2003: Acceptance notification - August 31, 2003: Deadline for workshop working notes - September 29, 2003: CP'2003 workshops Proposals workshops should contain the following information: - The title and a brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues it will focus on. - A brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest. - A list of tentatively confirmed attendees, if available. - A list of related workshops held within the last three years, if any, and their relation to the proposed workshop. - A list of workshops previously arranged by any members of the proposed organizing committee, if any. - The names of the proposed organizing committee. This committee should consist of two or three people knowledgeable about the technical issues o be addressed, preferably not coming from the same institution. - The name and email address of the main organizer.
