____ Scope ____

  The CP conference is the annual international conference on constraint
  programming.  It is concerned with all aspects of computing with
  constraints, including

    theory,  algorithms,  applications,  environments,
    languages,  models,  and systems.

  CP 2008 includes a technical program, where presentations of research and
  application papers as well as invited talks aim at describing the best
  results and techniques in the state-of-the-art of constraint programming.
  Two days of workshops, tutorials and the Doctoral Program will precede
  the conference.

  Papers are solicited from all disciplines concerned with constraints.
  Reports on successful applications of constraint technology are
  particularly encouraged and are subject to special Applications track
  acceptance criteria.  Submitted papers must be original and must not be
  simultaneously submitted for publication in a journal or another
  conference.  The conference proceedings are expected to be published by
  Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.  Papers
  are limited to 15 LNCS pages.  Further author information will be
  provided on the conference webpage.
