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.
