Call for Participation

Thirtieth International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2024) September 02-06, 2024, Girona, Catalonia.

CP is the premier international event for presenting research in all aspects of computing with constraints, including, but not restricted to: theory, algorithms, environments, languages, models, systems, and applications. CP 2024<https://cp2024.a4cp.org/index.html> will be held in-person in Girona at the University of Girona (Old Quarter Campus)<https://cp2024.a4cp.org/venue.html>, September 02-06, 2024.

The CP 2024 program will include presentations of high-quality scientific papers on constraints technology. In addition to the main conference program, CP 2024 will feature 3 specialised tracks covering important topics in Constraints:

* Applications
* CP and Machine Learning
* CP and Quantum Computing
