The 17th International Conference on the Integration of Constraint
Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Operations Research will be
held in Vienna, Austria, May 26 – 29, 2020. It will be co-located the
13th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS 2020,
socs20.search-conference.org).
The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers
from Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and
Operations Research (OR) to present new techniques or applications and
to provide an opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about
techniques in the others. A main objective of this conference series is
also to give these researchers the opportunity to show how the
integration of techniques from different fields can lead to interesting
results on large and complex problems. Contributions that actively
combine, integrate, or contrast approaches from more than one of the
areas are especially solicited. High quality extended abstracts from a
single area are also welcome, if they are of interest to other
communities involved. Application extended abstracts showcasing CP/AI/OR
techniques on novel and challenging applications or experience reports
on such applications are strongly encouraged.
The program committee invites extended abstracts submissions that
include but are not limited to the following topics:
- Inference and relaxation methods: constraint propagation, cutting
planes, global constraints, graph algorithms, dynamic programming,
Lagrangian and convex relaxations, heuristic functions based on
constraint relaxation.
- Search methods: branch and bound, intelligent backtracking, incomplete
search, randomized search, portfolios, column generation, Benders
decompositions or any other decomposition methods, local search,
meta-heuristics.
- AI and Machine Learning techniques applied to solve optimization and
Operations Research problems.
- Integration methods: solver communication, model transformations and
solver selection, parallel and distributed solving, combining machine
learning with combinatorial optimization.
- Modeling methods: comparison of models, symmetry breaking,
uncertainty, dominance relationships.
- Innovative applications of CP/AI/OR techniques.
- Implementation of CP/AI/OR techniques and optimization systems.
Extended abstracts should be 1 or 2 pages in length and may present
preliminary work or work already published in other outlets. A
collection of the accepted extended abstracts will be published on the
conference website. A submission representing work submitted or
published in another outlet should state that outlet. Extended abstracts
will be reviewed to ensure appropriateness for the conference.
