Constraint Programming and Decision Making WorkshopHome 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2015 2016 Welcome to CoProD 2021 September 12, 2021Online CoProD’20 is the fourteenth edition of CoProD. It will be held on September 12, 2021 (online), right before the International Symposium on Scientific Computing, Computer Arithmetic, and Verified Numerical Computation SCAN 2021 (Sept. 13 to 17). Constraint programming techniques are important components of intelligent systems. They constitute a declarative and efficient methodology to represent and solve many practical problems. They have been applied successfully to a number of fields, such as scheduling of air traffic, software engineering, networks security, chemistry, and biology. Despite the proved usefulness of these techniques, they are still under-utilized in real-life applications. One reason is the perceived lack of effective communication between constraint programming experts and domain practitioners about constraints, in general, and their use in decision making, in particular. Registration: Registration is free. CoProD 2021 Program and Presentations The program of CoProD 2021 is expected to be announced some time in July 2021 Objectives of CoProD: To present advances in constraint solving, optimization, and related topics; To develop a network of researchers interested in constraint techniques, in particular researchers and practitioners that use numeric and symbolic approaches (or a combination of them) to solve constraint and optimization problems; To address the gap between the great capacity of these techniques and their limited use. CoProD aims at encouraging presentation and discussion of on-going work . In particular, please note that there is room for presentation of ideas , as opposed to results only . It also aims at facilitating networking opportunities as well as cross-fertilization between the approaches used in the different attending communities. Therefore, besides active researchers in decision making and constraint programming techniques, we expect to have a wide attendance and participation of domain scientists - whose input is highly valued in this workshop. Invited Speakers and Program: program of CoProD’17 is now available.This year, our invited speakers are TBA.
