Scope of the Conference

Constraints have emerged as the basis of a representational and computational paradigm that draws from many disciplines and can be brought to bear on many problem domains. The conference is concerned with all aspects of computing with constraints including: algorithms, applications, environments, languages, models, systems. Papers presented at the conference will come from one of the many disciplines concerned with constraints, including: artificial intelligence, combinatorial algorithms, computational logic, concurrent computation, databases, discrete mathematics, operations research, programming languages, symbolic computation. The conferences covers all domains employing constraints, including: computational linguistics, configuration, decision support, design, diagnosis, graphics, hardware verification, molecular biology, planning, program analysis, qualitative reasoning, real-time systems, resource allocation, robotics, scheduling, software engineering, temporal reasoning, type inference, vision, visualization, user interfaces. There will be many papers that bridge disciplines or combine theory and practice.

Conference Venue

CP97 will take place at Schloss Hagenberg, a medieval, renovated castle close to Linz, Austria, known as the site of the Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC).

Proceedings

The proceedings will be published as Springer LNCS 1330; they will be available at the conference. The first pages of the proceedings also contain the table of contents.

Special Issue of Constraints Journal

Selected papers will be collected in a special issue of the CONSTRAINTS journal devoted to the conference.

Exhibition and Sponsors

Companies, publishers, agencies or organizations interested in exhibition space, or in becoming conference sponsors, should contact the Conference Chair. Researchers interested in providing computer demonstrations should contact the Program Chair.
