Call for Workshop Proposals: 12th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming, Nantes (France), September 2006

CP 2006 -- CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

                    Twelfth International Conference on
               Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming

                     http://www.sciences.univ-nantes.fr/cp06/


The CP 2006 Program Committee invites proposals for the Workshop and
Tutorial Program. CP 2006 will be held in Nantes, France from September
25th-29th.

WORKSHOPS

CP 2006 workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical
topics in an atmosphere that facilitates the active exchange of ideas. It
is an opportunity to disseminate work in progress or to promote new and
emerging areas within the field of constraints. The topics of the
workshops can cover any area related to constraints and any related
cross-disciplinary areas.

Workshops will be half-day long, except special cases motivated by the
organizers. The internal format of the workshop will be determined by the
organizers.

Important Dates for Workshops
    * March 31, 2006: Proposal submission deadline
    * April 14, 2006: Acceptance notification
    * April 28, 2006: Deadline for receipt of URL for workshop web page
    * Mid August, 2006: Deadline for workshop notes (TBD)
    * September 25, 2006: CP 2006 workshops

TUTORIALS

CP 2006 tutorials are ideally targeted at the whole constraint community
and should give a state-of-the-art description of a field of research
related to constraint programming or of a large area of application. As an
example, the topics of tutorials in the previous CP conferences were:
numerical CSPs, global constraints, soft constraints, mathematical
programming, cooperation between methods, areas of application (eg.
bioinformatics), etc.

Tutorials will take place during the technical program.

Important Dates for Tutorials
    * May 19, 2006: Proposal submission deadline
    * June 16, 2006: Acceptance notification
    * Mid August, 2006: Deadline for tutorial notes (TBD)
    * September 25-29, 2006: CP technical program and tutorials


A summary of the submission procedures for workshops and tutorials are
