                           Prague, Czech Republic

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This will be the sixth meeting of the ERCIM Working Group on Constraints
(http://www.cwi.nl/projects/ercim-wg.html) co-ordinated by Krzysztof R. Apt.

The workshop is open for all researchers.

It is jointly organised by:

Krzysztof R. Apt, CWI, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (K.R.Apt@cwi.nl)
Roman Bartak, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic (bartak@kti.mff.cuni.cz) 
Eric Monfroy, University of Nantes, France (eric.monfroy@irin.univ-nantes.fr)
Francesca Rossi, University of Padova, Italy (frossi@math.unipd.it)

with support from ERCIM and ITI (Czech Institute for Theoretical Computer Science).

This workshop will cover all aspects of constraint processing (solving and
propagation algorithms, programming languages, new formalisms, novel
techniques for modelling, experiments, ... ), with particular emphasis
on filtering and labelling algorithms and modelling real-life problems.


Call for Papers:
---------------

We would like to invite authors to submit papers (preferably up to 10 pages long
in the Springer LNCS style, see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html)
on ongoing research on constraints, with preference on filtering and labelling
algorithms and modelling real-life problems.

The submission deadline is April 8, 2001.
Please send an electronic version of the paper, in the form of a PostScript Level 2
or PDF file, to Eric Monfroy (eric.monfroy@irin.univ-nantes.fr)

Authors will be notified of acceptance/rejection by May 1, 2001.
Camera-ready version is due May 13, 2001.


Program:
-------
Besides the accepted papers, there will be two invited talks.

 
Location:
--------
The workshop will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, the heart of Europe.
