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

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 the Hilton
Singapore.
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 submissions must be formatted according to the style used in
Springer Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Support files
for this style (use llncs.cls for LaTeX2e) are available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. 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.
