8th International Workshop on Local Search techniques in
Constraint Satisfaction
LSCS'11
http://willow.engr.uconn.edu/LSCS2011/
To be held with the 17th International Conference on
Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming
Perugia, Italy. September 12-16th, 2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
--------
LSCS has been an annual workshop since 2004, and is devoted to local search techniques in constraint satisfaction. It focuses on all aspects of local search techniques, including but not limited to: design and implementation of new algorithms, hybrid stochastic-systematic search, reactive search, adaptive search, modeling for local search, global constraints, flexibility, robustness, learning methods, study of search space properties, probabilistic analysis of algorithm behavior, and new applications. The workshop will provide an informal environment for discussions about recent results in these and related areas. Papers are solicited from the above areas or from any other area related to local search in constraint satisfaction. In addition to contributed papers, we will have one invited lecture and will also provide opportunities for short presentations of post-deadline important results.
Submissions
