[DMANET] CP 2010: Call for Workshop Proposals

Call for Workshop Proposals

Sixteenth International Conference on Principles and Practice of
Constraint Programming

6-10 September, 2010

St. Andrews, Scotland


The CP 2010 Workshop Chair invites proposals for the Workshop Program.

CP 2010 workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical
topics in an atmosphere that facilitates the active exchange of
ideas. It is an opportunity to disseminate work in progress or to
promote new and emerging areas within the field of constraints. The
topics of the workshops can cover any area related to constraints and
any related cross-disciplinary areas.

All workshops will take place on 6 September, 2010 at the site of the
main conference. Workshops can be half-day or full-day. The internal
format of the workshop will be determined by the organisers of each
workshop.
