------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Participation

2015 ACP Summer School in Constraint Programming

http://acpss2015.uconn.edu/

** New Frontiers in Constraint Programming **

Dates: July 8-11th
Location: University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The subject of the 2015 ACP Summer School is "New Frontiers in Constraint
Programming", where we explore some of the most exciting and innovative
applications and research directions in Constraint Programming that have
been shaping the field in recent years. The goal of the school is to
familiarize PhD students, post-docs, and interested researchers with these
new perspectives to foster ideas that can contribute to their own research
and to better position themselves in the field.

** Competition: The school is also hosting a Constraint Programming
competition where winners and their work will be featured at the 21st
International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint
Programming (CP 2015).
