____________________ Call for Tutorial Proposals ____________________

                                CP 2008

                     14th International Conference
                                  on
           Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming

      Sydney,  Australia                     14-18 September 2008

                 http://www.csse.unimelb.edu.au/cp2008/

     Co-located with:
     Int'l Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS)
     Int'l Conference on Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR)
     Int'l Workshop on Nonmonotonic Reasoning (NMR)


____ Call for Tutorials ____

   The CP 2008 Program Committee invites proposals for the Tutorial
   Program.

   CP 2008 tutorials are ideally targeted at the whole constraint
   community and should give a state-of-the-art description of a field
   of research related to constraint programming or of a large area of
   application.  For example, the topics of tutorials in previous CP
   conferences include: symmetry-breaking, on-line stochastic
   optimisation, distributed constraints, problem modelling,
   preference representation, randomised backtracking, dynamic
   constraint programming, numerical CSPs, global constraints, soft
   constraints, mathematical programming, cooperation between methods,
   and areas of application (e.g. bioinformatics, configuration).

   Tutorials will take place as pre-conference activities along with
   workshops and the doctoral program, which run during 14-15
   September 2008.
