Call For Papers

=============================================
CPAIOR 2017, Call for Papers

Padova, June 5-8 2017
http://cpaior2017.dei.unipd.it/
=============================================

General Information
-------------------

The Fourteenth International Conference on Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research Techniques in Constraint Programming will be held in Padova, Italy, June 5 - 8, 2017, with a Master Class on "Computation Techniques for Combinatorial Optimization" on June 5, and the Main Conference on June 6 - 8, 2017.

The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers from Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Operations Research (OR) to present new techniques or applications in combinatorial optimization and to provide an opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about techniques in the others.

A main objective of this conference series is also to give these researchers the opportunity to show how the integration of techniques from different fields can lead to interesting results on large and complex problems.

Therefore papers that actively combine, integrate, or contrast approaches from more than one of the areas are especially solicited. High quality papers from a single area are also welcome, provided that they are of interest to other communities involved. Application papers showcasing CP/AI/OR techniques on novel and challenging applications or experience reports on such applications are strongly encouraged.

The program committee invites submissions that include but are not limited to the following topics:

* Inference and relaxation methods: constraint propagation, cutting planes, global constraints, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, Lagrangian and convex relaxations, heuristic functions based on relaxations.
* Search methods: branch and bound, intelligent backtracking, incomplete search, randomized search, portfolios, column generation, Benders decomposition or any other decomposition methods, local search and meta­heuristics
* Integration of machine learning and optimization: learning-based search and heuristics, use of predictive models in optimization, constraint acquisition, optimization for training machine learning models
* Integration methods: solver communication, model transformations and solver selection, parallel and distributed resolution techniques, models, and solvers.
* Modeling methods: comparison of models, symmetry breaking, uncertainty, dominance relationships.
* Innovative Applications of CP/AI/OR techniques.
* Implementation of CP/AI/OR techniques and optimization systems.

More information is available on the conference web site: http://cpaior2017.dei.unipd.it/

Important Dates
---------------

* Abstract submission deadline: 14 Nov
* Paper submission deadline: 21 Nov
* Rebuttal period: 20-23
* Final notification: 16 Jan
* Camera-ready version: 31 Jan (provisional deadline)


Submission process and formats
------------------------------

Paper submissions are of two types:

* Long papers (15 pages, plus references)
* Short papers (8 pages, plus references)

The conference proceedings will be published on the LNCS series.

Additionally, outstanding submissions to the technical program will be offered the opportunity to be published exclusively through a "fast track" process in the "Constraint" Journal. Journal fast track paper will still be regularly presented at the conference.

All papers are to be submitted electronically in PDF format via easychair:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpaior2017

Authors should follow the submission instructions on the conference website. In the particular, they should comply with the required format (LNCS style) and page limits.
