=========================================================================
Call for Papers and Participation
Eighth International Workshop On Constraint
Modelling and Reformulation (ModRef'09)
To be held at the 15th International Conference on
Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2009)
Lisbon, Portugal
http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~frisch/ModRef/09/
September 20, 2009
========================================================================
Constraint Programming (CP) is a powerful technology to solve combinatorial
problems which are ubiquitous in academia and industry. The last ten years
or so have witnessed significant research devoted to modelling and solving
problems with constraints. CP is now a mature field and has been
successfully used for tackling a wide range of real-life complex
applications. However, such a technology is currently accessible to only a
small number of experts. For CP to be more widely used by non-experts, more
research effort is needed in order to ease the use of the CP technology. We
solicit original papers that contribute to widen the use of the CP
technology.
Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
- Application papers describing interesting problems and interesting ways
to model them;
- Contributions to understanding modelling that could guide the manual or
automatic formulation of models;
- Identification of the criteria that should be used in evaluating models
and the design of pragmatic techniques that facilitate the choice and
possibly combination among alternative models;
- Design of higher level modelling languages;
- Automatic reformulation techniques.
SUBMISSION
----------
To submit a paper, send an email to Alan Frisch (frisch at (no spam) cs.york.ac.uk) with
title, authors' names and emails, name of corresponding author, and a URL
of the submission in postscript or (preferably) in pdf for downloading.
In addition to soliciting papers that present polished research results, we
especially encourage the submission of papers that are not of the type
normally appearing at scientific conferences. In particular, we welcome
survey papers; position papers; reports of speculative and preliminary
research; and descriptions of planned, ongoing or completed projects.
Submissions should be made in Springer LNCS format and can be of any
length, but should not exceed 15 pages.
All submissions will be reviewed and those that are well written and make a
worthwhile contribution to the topic of the workshop will be accepted for
publication in the workshop proceedings. At least one author of each
accepted paper must attend the workshop.
THE WORKSHOP
------------
This will be a half-day workshop held on 20 September 2009. The workshop is
open to anyone interested in the topic, but all participants must register
for CP'09 and for the workshop. The event will have a strong workshop
flavour, with ample time allocated to discussion.
IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
Submission deadline: Jul 31, 2009
Notification of acceptance: Aug 14, 2009
Camera Ready deadline: Aug 22, 2009
Workshop: Sept 20, 2009
