Special Track on SAT and CSP
http://www.cril.univ-artois.fr/ICTAI14-SAT-CSP-Track/

at the

26th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (IEEE ICTAI’14)
http://ictai2014.cs.ucy.ac.cy/
November 10-12 2014, Limassol, Chyprus

Constraint Solving Programming (CSP) and SAT-related technologies are
major related topics of research and application in A.I., opening up
new perspectives
about effective A.I. application domains.

Over the years, the ICTAI conference has become a major forum for the
CSP and SAT
research communities for presenting new high-quality results (see the
special track program in 2013:
http://www.cril.univ-artois.fr/ICTAI-SAT-CSP-Track/ICTAI-Schedule.htm )
The second edition of the special track is intended to further develop
the role of ICTAI in this respect.

Topics
=====

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

CSP methodologies and tools
Constraint networks
Global constraints
CSP and SAT Solvers
Applications of CSP and SAT-based technologies
Heuristic, complete and hybrid search techniques
Heuristics for SAT and CSP
SAT modulo theories
AI techniques based on SAT and CSP
Core, MUC and MUS extraction
MAX-SAT, MAX-CSP
Soft/Hard Constraints
Weighted CSP and SAT
Constraint optimization
