Dear Friends,
Please find the CFP for a workshop, papers related to interval, fuzzy, and probabilistic uncertainty are very welcome.
The workshop website – mentioned in this call for papers -- is down for now: our university computer system has been hacked, our servers and our email systems were down for a week.
Email is now back, but most websites are still not accessible. We hope that everything will be working in a week or so.
Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Martine and Vladik

14th International Workshop on Constraint Programming and Decision
Making CoProD'2021
September 12, 2021 -- online
CoProD'2020 is the fourteenth edition of CoProD
http://coprod.constraintsolving.com/. It will be held online on
September 12, 2021, right before The 19th International Symposium
on Scientific Computing, Computer Arithmetic, and Verified
Numerical Computations SCAN'2021 -- the main conference of interval
computations community -- that will be held online between the 13th
and 17th of September 2021, see http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/scan2020
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.
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.
