Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming
Computational Sustainability is a newly emerging interdisciplinary field that aims to apply techniques from computer science, information science, operations research, applied mathematics, and statistics for balancing environmental, economic, and societal needs for sustainable development. The main focus is on developing computational and mathematical models and methods for decision making concerning the management and allocation of resources in order to help solve some of the most challenging problems related to sustainability. Such models are traditionally studied in disciplines as diverse as ecology, natural resource management, biodiversity, atmospheric science, biological and environmental engineering, and resource economics. Creating and optimizing these models, however, often presents a scalability challenge, which limits what scientists can analyze using relatively simple techniques. Bringing in advanced computational methods as a tool to solve these large scale problems holds tremendous promise for the enrichment of all involved fields. The goal of this workshop is to bring together interested researchers in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas, presentation of recent or preliminary results, and discussion of promising directions for the use of computational methods to tackle a variety of challenging sustainability problems. While the main focus of this workshop will be on computational methods related to constraint programming (CP) and constraint optimization, we also encourage submissions in other computational areas and techniques relevant to sustainability problems. The first two workshops in the CROCS series, held in conjunction with the CP-09 and CPAIOR-10 conferences, attracted interest from a number of researchers in this new field and provided a venue for discussion. This third workshop will continue to do the same. Important Dates
SubmissionDepending on the number of submissions, the program will involve a mix of short and long talks, possibly an invited talk, and discussion session(s). We solicit three kinds of submissions:
Papers, abstracts, and discussion proposals should be submitted as a PDF file by using the EasyChair submission page for the workshop: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=crocsatcp10 Please use US Letter size page with a 1 inch margin on all four sides, and 10 pt or 11 pt font for the main body of the paper. Other than this, there are no specific formatting or style requirements. If using LaTeX, the following header should produce the correct format:
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\setlength\textheight{9in}
Registration and AttendanceAt least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop. The workshop will be open to everyone
to attend, regardless of whether they have an accepted
submission. However, CP-10 organization requires that all
workshop attendies must pay either the CP registration fee
including the workshop fee or only the workshop fee. For detailed
registration information, please refer to the CP-10 web page.
