============================================ 3rd CHR Summer School in Berlin "Third time's the charm" Programming and Reasoning with Rules and Constraints http://met.guc.edu.eg/CHR2013/ After going to Belgium and Egypt, and having attracted over 50 participants to learn about and to discuss engaging topics related to Constraint Programming (CP) and Constraint Handling Rules(CHR), the third summer school will take place this year in Germany. Where? - GUC Berlin, Germany When? - 8th to 12th of July, 2013 Why? - To introduce rule-based and constraint-based high-level declarative programming, and to provide insights based on these concepts for the analysis of programs, whilst covering a wide range of topics of varying difficulty from theory to practice Who? - For students, researchers, interested practitioners around the world who wish to learn about CP and CHR, the only prerequisites are a working knowledge of English and basic knowledge of logic and Prolog (typically covered in undergraduate classes) Topics? 1. Introduction to Constraint Programming and Modeling a Constraint Problem 2. Consistency Techniques and Constraint Reasoning 3. Constraint-Based Scheduling 4. Introduction to Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) 5. Implementing Constraint Solvers using CHR 6. Analysis of CHR Solvers 7. Abductive Reasoning and language processing with CHR 8. Probabilistic CHR: CHRiSM 9. Source to Source Transformation for CHR 10. Parallel Execution of CHR on a Graphical Processing Unit 11. Confluence Analysis of CHR Programs 12. Optimizing Compilation of CHR 13. ASV Roboat - an autonomous sailing boat for ocean monitoring and its long-term routing Early Registration deadline - April 30, 2013 Normal Registration deadline - June 15, 2013 http://met.guc.edu.eg/CHR2013/ With support from GUC Egypt and DAAD Germany ============================================
