The CP conference is the annual international conference on constraint
programming and related areas. It is concerned with all aspects of
computing with constraints, including: theory, algorithms,
applications, environments, languages, models and systems. CP 2006
includes a technical programme, where presentations of theoretical and
application papers, as well as invited talks, tutorials, posters and
system demos aim at describing the best results and techniques in the
state-of-the-art of constraint programming. Moreover, CP 2006
continues the tradition of the CP doctoral programme, in which PhD
students can present their work, listen to tutorials on career and
ethical issues, and discuss their work with senior researchers via a
mentoring scheme. Finally, there will also be a number of workshops,
where researchers will be able to meet in an informal setting and
discuss their most recent ideas with their peers.

Papers are solicited from all disciplines concerned with constraints
and any application domain using constraints. Example topics include
problem modelling, problem solving, efficiency and usability. Papers
which report on successful applications of constraint technology are
also solicited.

Submitted papers must be original and must not be simultaneously
submitted for publication in a journal or another conference. Authors
are required to prepare their papers by following the Springer
instructions found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

A page limit of 15 will be strictly enforced. The proceedings will be
published by Springer Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series.
