CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
CP-AI-OR 2009
Sixth International Conference on Integration of Artificial
Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint
Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems
May 27-31, 2009
Pittsburgh, PA
www.cpaior.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The CP-AI-OR program committee invites proposals for the Workshop
Program, to be held in conjunction with the conference.
Workshops provide a forum for researchers from constraint programming
(CP), artificial intelligence (AI), and operations research (OR), to
exchange ideas in an informal setting. Workshops provide an
opportunity to disseminate work in progress, or to promote new and
emerging areas within the field of combinatorial optimization and its
applications. The Workshop Program will take place on May 28th, as a
pre-conference event, alongside the two-day Constraint Programming
Tutorial.
Potential workshops topics include, but are not limited to:
1. Relaxation methods, e.g. constraint propagation, cutting planes,
global constraints, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, convex
and Lagrangian relaxations, heuristic functions based on constraint
relaxation.
2. Search methods, e.g. branch and bound, intelligent backtracking,
incomplete search, randomized search, column generation and other
decomposition methods, local search, meta-heuristics.
3. Integration methods, e.g. static/dynamic problem decomposition,
solver communication, transformations between models and solvers,
collaboration between concurrent methods, models, and solvers.
4. Modeling methods, e.g., comparison of models, symmetry breaking,
uncertainty, dominance relationships.
5. Particular application areas of CP/AI/OR techniques.
6. Implementation of CP/AI/OR techniques and Optimization Systems.
Workshop organizers will be responsible for providing a call for
papers and a website, for additional publicity, for reviewing
submissions, and for formulating the technical program. The CP-AI-OR
conference will provide local support. Workshop participants must
register for CP-AI-OR, but there will be no additional fee for
attending a workshop. Workshop proposals should be sent by email to
Willem-Jan van Hoeve ([email protected]).
Workshop proposal submissions should include the following
information:
- Title and brief description of the workshop
- Motivation why the workshop is of interest to CP-AI-OR
- Description of the workshop format
- The names of the proposed organizing committee
- Contact information of the principal proposed organizer(s)
Important Dates
December 21, 2008 - Workshop proposals due
January 11, 2009 - Notification of acceptance
February 15 - Workshop call for papers and website ready
Conference Organizers and Program Chairs
John Hooker, Carnegie Mellon University
