                       Sixth International Conference on
               Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming

                       September 18-22, 2000, Singapore

                       http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cp2000
                      
                                CALL FOR PAPERS

    Constraints have emerged as the basis of a representational and
    computational paradigm that draws from many disciplines and can be
    brought to bear on many problem domains. The conference is concerned
    with all aspects of computing with constraints including: algorithms,
    applications, environments, languages, models, systems. Contributions
    are welcome from any discipline concerned with constraints, including:
    artificial intelligence, combinatorial algorithms, computational
    logic, concurrent computation, databases, discrete mathematics,
    operations research, programming languages, symbolic computation. We
    also solicit papers from any domain employing constraints, including:
    computational linguistics, configuration, decision support, design,
    diagnosis, graphics, hardware verification, molecular biology,
    planning, qualitative reasoning, real-time systems, resource
    allocation, robotics, scheduling, software engineering, temporal
    reasoning, vision, visualization, user interfaces. Papers that bridge
    disciplines or combine theory and practice are especially welcome.

    Important dates

       Submissions of workshop/tutorial proposals: February 15, 2000
       Submissions of abstracts: March 11, 2000
       Submissions of papers: March 15, 2000
       Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2000
       Camera-ready papers due: June 30, 2000

    Conference site

    Located in Southeast Asia, the Republic of Singapore is a safe and
    clean city-state. Known as the Lion City, Singapore is a modern
    metropolis with one of the world's busiest ports and a world-class
    airport. At the same time, the small tropical island has retained many
    elements of its colonial past. The multiethnic nature of the
    population provides a rich and varied cultural, religious, and
    linguistic heritage. The conference will be take place at a hotel in
    the city center to be announced soon.

    Submissions

    Papers must be original and not submitted for publication elsewhere.
    Research papers can be up to 15 proceedings pages, and poster papers
    can be up to 5 pages. Submission should be done by sending two emails
    to cp2000@ics.uci.edu

    The first email (to be received by March 11) should have the subject
    "CP2000 Abstract: " followed by the paper title. The body of this
    first email should contain the title, authors and a short abstract of
    the paper, all in plain text. The second email (by March 15) should
    have subject "CP2000 Paper: " followed by the paper title. The body
    of this second email should contain a postscript file. All authors
    must be prepared to send a hardcopy by fast airmail upon request.
    Authors who are unable to submit electronically can mail five paper
    copies to the program chair, to arrive on or before the submission
    deadline.

    Publication

    The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture
    Notes in Computer Science series. A special issue of the Constraints
    journal (Kluwer Academic Publishers) is planned, based on selected
    papers.

    Workshops and Tutorials

    Workshops and tutorials are planned for Monday, September 18, and
    Friday, September 22, 2000. Workshop and tutorial proposals should
    be submitted to the workshop chair Toby Walsh via email at
    tw@cs.york.ac.uk by February 15, 2000.
