Abstract

Constraint programming has become an important technology for solving hard combinatorial problems in a diverse range of application domains. It has its roots in artificial intelligence, mathematical programming, operations research, and programming languages. In this talk we will discuss a number of challenging application domains for constraint programming, and the technical challenges that these present to the research community.
