                            CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
      ==================================================================

    CP-2002 invites students to apply for the CP-2002 Doctoral Programme,
    which will provide an opportunity for a group of Ph.D. students to
    discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives
    with a panel of established researchers in Constraint Programming.

    The CP-2002 doctoral programme has the following objectives: to
    provide a setting for mutual feedback on participants' current
    research and guidance on future research directions; to develop a
    supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative
    research; to support a new generation of researchers with information
    and advice on academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional
    career paths; to contribute to the conference goals through
    interaction with other researchers and participation in conference
    events.

    Program: The program will consists of students' presentations and
    tutorials given by senior researchers of the field.

    Submissions: We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students at any
    level, and from any topic area and methodology within constraint
    programming. On the basis of the submissions, the Organizing
    Committee will select a group of students that will be invited to
    present their work during the Doctoral Programme, and also to present
    a poster at the CP-2002 poster session. We expect a commitment from
    all participating students to attend the entire doctoral programme.
    Students accepted for participation in the Doctoral Programme will
    receive complimentary conference registration and a fixed allowance
    for travel/housing. The students' abstracts will be made available on
    the web and their printed version will be distributed on site.

    Applicants should submit by e-mail to frossi@math.unipd.it an extended
    abstract. It should be at most 6 pages in length (usual LNCS style
    format), and should describe original, unpublished work, completed or
    in progress, that is part of the doctoral work of the student. The
    extended abstract should be sent as a PostScript file.

    In addition, they should ask their dissertation advisor to send a
    letter of recommendation by e-mail to frossi@math.unipd.it. It must
    include an expected date for thesis submission. In addition, your
    advisor should indicate what he or she hopes you would gain from
    participation in the doctoral programme. This letter can be sent in
    as either a text or a PostScript file.

    Important Dates:
    - -- May 1, 2002: Application Submission Deadline
    - -- June 1, 2002: Acceptance Notification
    - -- July 1, 2001: Final version due
