The 9th International Workshop on
Constraint Modelling and Reformulation (ModRef 2010)

To be held at
the 16th International Conference on the
Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2010)

St. Andrews, Scotland (UK)
Monday 6 September 2010

Constraint Programming (CP) is a powerful technology to model and solve combinatorial problems, which are ubiquitous in academia and industry. The last ten years or so have witnessed significant research devoted to modelling and solving problems with constraints. CP is now a mature field and has been successfully used for tackling a wide range of real-life complex applications. However, such a technology is currently accessible to only a small number of experts. For CP to be more widely used by non-experts, more research effort is needed in order to ease the use of the CP technology. We solicit original papers that contribute to widen the use of the CP technology.

Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):

• Application papers describing interesting problems and interesting ways to model them;
• Contributions to understanding modelling that could guide the manual or automatic formulation of models;
• Identification of the criteria that should be used in evaluating models and the design of pragmatic techniques that facilitate the choice and possibly combination among alternative models;
• Design of higher-level modelling languages;
• Automatic reformulation techniques.

The Workshop

This is a full-day workshop open to anyone interested in the topic. The event will have a strong workshop flavour, with ample time allocated to discussion.

The workshop programme is available here.
