CP 2011 - Seventeenth International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming CP2011

The CP conference is the annual international conference on constraint programming. It is concerned with all aspects of computing with constraints, including theory, algorithms, environments, languages, models, systems, and applications such as decision making, resource allocation, and agreement technologies.
http://www.dmi.unipg.it/cp2011
CP 2011 includes a technical program, where presentations of research and application papers as well as invited talks aim at describing the best results and techniques in the state-of-the-art of constraint programming. One day of Workshops precedes the conference. Tutorials and the Doctoral Program will form part of the main conference.

Papers are solicited from all disciplines concerned with constraints. Reports on successful applications of constraint technology are particularly encouraged and are subject to special Applications track acceptance criteria. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Full paper submissions are limited to 15 LNCS pages, while Short paper submissions are limited to 8 pages. Short papers will be reviewed to the same standards of quality as full papers, but will naturally contain less quantity of new materials. Short papers will have the same status as long papers and be eligible for the best paper prize.
