CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE
Association for Constraint Programming

OVERVIEW
The Executive Committee of the ACP invites nominations for the 2009 ACP
award for Research Excellence in Constraint Programming, which will be
presented at CP 2009 in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2009. The purpose of
this award is to celebrate those CP researchers who have made exceptional
and very influential research contributions to CP with their work.
The award recipient will give a plenary talk at CP 2009. The costs for
his/her participation to the conference will covered by the ACP.
ELIGIBILITY
Nominations for this award are invited from members of the ACP.
NOMINATION PROCESS
A nomination package consists of a nomination form from one nominator, and
reference forms from at least 2 references.
Typically, a nominator is somebody who knows the nominee very well, and
locates the references, ensuring that they do their parts in time to
produce a convincing nomination package. Ideally, a reference is a well
known member of the CP community who has never had a very close
relationship with the nominee, but who can speak with authority for him or
her.
Nominations and reference forms should follow the form below and should be
sent (nomination forms by the nominators, and reference forms by
references) by email to secretary at (no spam) cp-online.org. The textual part of this
forms should be a statement of why the nominee deserves the award. The
Award Committee is looking for evidence that the nominee has generated some
of the most important and influential work in the field. Effective letters
will therefore emphasize what the nominee has done and why it matters.
TIMEFRAME
The nomination package must arrive at the above address by June 21, 2009.
We cannot accept anything received after that date. We will acknowledge
receipt of nominations. The decision will be available on July 13, 2008.
AWARD COMMITTEE
Every year, an Award Commmittee will decide the award receipient among the
nominees, and will include: the president and secretary of the ACP-EC, two
previous award receipients, and the program chair of the CP conference
where the award will be given.
Members of the award committee cannot be candidates, nor can they support
a candidate by being a nominator or a reference.
Enquiries concerning nominations should be directed to the ACP EC
Secretary (Jimmy Lee) at the address secretary at (no spam) cp-online.org. More
