Welcome to
CoProD 2018
September 10, 2018 -- Tokyo, Japan
CoProD'18 is the eleventh edition of CoProD. It will be held in Tokyo, Japan on September 10, 2018 (exact location TBA), right before the 18th International Symposium on Scientific Computing, Computer Arithmetic, and Verified Numerical Computation SCAN 2018 (Sept. 10 to 14).
Constraint programming techniques are important components of intelligent systems. They constitute a declarative and efficient methodology to represent and solve many practical problems. They have been applied successfully to a number of fields, such as scheduling of air traffic, software engineering, networks security, chemistry, and biology. Despite the proved usefulness of these techniques, they are still under-utilized in real-life applications. One reason is the perceived lack of effective communication between constraint programming experts and domain practitioners about constraints, in general, and their use in decision making, in particular.

Registration will be collected on site and is 3,000 yen.CoProD 2018 Program and Presentations
The program of CoProD 2018 is now available below under Invited Speakers and Program.
Objectives of CoProD:
- To present advances in constraint solving, optimization, and related topics;
- To develop a network of researchers interested in constraint techniques, in particular researchers and practitioners that use numeric and symbolic approaches (or a combination of them) to solve constraint and optimization problems;
- To address the gap between the great capacity of these techniques and their limited use.
CoProD aims at encouraging presentation and discussion of on-going work. In particular, please note that there is room for presentation of ideas, as opposed to results only. It also aims at facilitating networking opportunities as well as cross-fertilization between the approaches used in the different attending communities. Therefore, besides active researchers in decision making and constraint programming techniques, we expect to have a wide attendance and participation of domain scientists - whose input is highly valued in this workshop.
