Industry has been very quick to adopt the technology and apply it with great success. Yet the pace of research in this area is dramatic, and new ideas and techniques are continually emerging to further enhance the potential of constraint technology. The time lag between research, development and industrial application is very short. In consequence the Practical Applications of Constraint Technology is both a good opportunity to appreciate the breadth of applications of the technology, and a chance to share new developments in the field and how to make use of those developments in practice. We invite you to submit a paper or industrial report describing fielded applications in the areas of constraint programming.
Papers can be any length, and on any topic.
Note that since these conferences are aimed at demonstrating the benefits of the technology for industry and commerce, preference will be given to papers which describe fielded applications. Papers for PACT'96 should be submitted by November 17th 1995. Authors of successful submissions will be notified by the end of December. FIVE copies of papers should be submitted. Please include a short abstract and a covering page containing full contact details, including postal and email addresses, telephone and fax numbers.
