Call for Papers / Paper Submission
[html] [txt]

CP-AI-OR is intended primarily as a forum to focus on the integration and hybridization of the approaches of CP, AI, and OR technologies. A secondary aim is to provide an opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about techniques in others. Therefore, papers that actively combine, integrate or contrast approaches from more than one of the areas are solicited. High quality pure papers from a single area are eligible provided that they are of interest to other communities involved.

The program committee invites submissions that include but are not limited to the following topics:

  • Integration of constraint relaxation methods, e.g. Constraint propagation, Cutting planes, Reduced costs, Global constraints, Graph algorithms, Dynamic programming, Lagrangean and convex relaxations, Heuristic functions based on constraint relaxation.
  • Integration of search and solving methods, e.g. Branch and bound, Intelligent backtracking, Incomplete search, Randomized search, Column generation and other decomposition methods, Local search, Meta-heuristics.
  • Forms of integration, e.g. Static/dynamic problem decomposition, Linking variables and constraints in different solvers, Transformations between models and solvers, Methods using information derived by other solving methods, Collaboration between concurrent methods, models, and solvers.
  • Problems, modeling, and applications.

The maximal length of a standard technical paper is 15 pages. The conference proceedings were published as Volume 3524 in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Authors are requested to prepare their papers according to the Springer instructions.

Submissions are now closed!
