Second call for presentations and participation: The 12th workshop of SweConsNet, the Network for Sweden-based researchers and practitioners of Constraint programming, Hosted at Lund University, Lund, Sweden, May 27th, 2013.

The 12th Workshop of the Network of Sweden-based researchers and practitioners of Constraint programming

SweConsNet is the Network for Sweden-based researchers and practitioners of Constraint programming.

Following the previous successful workshops, we would like to announce the 12th SweConsNet workshop, which will take place in Lund, Sweden on May 27th 2013. The purpose of this workshop is to learn about ongoing research in constraint programming, as well as existing projects and products. We will also discuss the further development of the network, such as a possible widening to other Nordic countries.

The workshop is open to everybody interested in the theory and practice of constraint programming, whether based in Sweden or elsewhere. The scope of the workshop spans all areas of Constraint Programming, and is open to presentations and discussions addressing topics related to both theory and application.

Please forward a link of this page to people who might be interested but are not yet on the SweConsNet mailing list. They can subscribe to it by sending a message to Justin.Pearson [at] it.uu.se.

We hope for your participation, and highly encourage you to submit a proposal for a presentation of your ongoing work, recent results, or of a relevant discussion topic. There are no paper submissions, reviews, or proceedings, hence recent conference/journal papers may also be presented.

To register, please fill your data in the registration form. If you want to propose a presentation, please send also the title and the abstract of your talk. In order to facilitate organization, please notify us of your intention to participate as soon as possible, and at the latest before May 10th, 2013. The workshop does not have a registration fee.

In the program so far

I just registered my own talk: What I (still) like about Constraint Programming. with the Presentation abstract:

This is a presentation about fascinating features in Constraint Programming: those I personally find very appealing and/or unique (e.g. compared to other programming paradigms/systems), especially regarding the modeling aspect.

I guess that many/most of the attendants know these "fascinating features" already, but all might not agree (I hope) that they are as important (or fascinating) as I find them.
