CP-AI-OR 2005

2nd International Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimisation Problems
CONFERENCE PROGRAMME:
=====================
The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers from AI and OR, and to give them the opportunity to show how the integration of techniques from AI and OR can lead to interesting results on large scale and complex problems. A secondary aim of CP-AI-OR is to provide an opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about techniques in others.
>From almost 100 submitted papers, 26 papers have been selected to be
presented in the main program.

MASTER CLASS:
=============
As in previous years CPAIOR'05, a major forum on the Integration of OR and AI techniques in CP, will be preceded by a one-day Master Class where leading researchers give introductory and overview talks in a given area. This year, the topic of the Master Class is Metaheuristics and Constraint Programming. The Master Class is intended for PhD students, researchers, and practitioners. A basic knowledge of Constraint Programming will be expected of participants.

CONFERENCE VENUE:
=================
The conference and the Master Class will take place in a newly refurbished building of Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague.
This building has a convenient location in the historical city center, in the area called Lesser Town (Mala Strana) close to local attractions like Charles Bridge (Karluv most) and Prague Castle (Prazsky hrad).
