[DMANET] The 17th International Conference on the Integration of Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Operations Research (CPAIOR 2020), September 21-24

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to attend the 17th International Conference on the
Integration of Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and
Operations Research (https://cpaior2020.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/ ). 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.

The online conference will take place from September 21 to 24, 2020.

The registration is free of charge:
https://cpaior2020.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/registration/

The conference program is available here:

The conference program includes four invited talks and a Master Class on
the topic "Recent Advances in Optimisation Paradigms and Solving
Technology":

Invited Talks:

– Margarida Carvalho (University of Montreal, Canada): "Algorithmic
approaches for integer programming games and a story on policy making"

– Georg Gottlob (University of Oxford, UK, and TU Wien, Austria):
"Hypertree Decompositions: Questions and Answers"

– Sebastian Pokutta (Technische Universität Berlin, Zuse Institute
Berlin, Germany): "Restarting Algorithms: Sometimes there is Free Lunch"

– Peter Stuckey (Monash University, Australia) "Combinatorial
Optimisation for Multi-Agent Path Finding"


Master Class ("Recent Advances in Optimisation Paradigms and Solving
Technology"):

– Laurent Perron and Frédéric Didier (Google Paris, France) "Constraint
Programming"

– Armin Biere (Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria):
"Satisfiability (SAT)"

– Günther Raidl and Andrea Schaerf (TU Wien, Austria, and University of
Udine, Italy): "(Meta)Heuristics and Hybridisation"

– Inês Lynce (University of Lisbon, Portugal): "MaxSAT, Multi-Objective
Optimisation, and Parallelism"

– Timo Berthold (Fair Isaac Germany GmbH, Germany):
