              Tenth International Conference on
       Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming

The CP conference is the annual international conference on constraint
programming, and it is concerned with all aspects of computing with
constraints, including: algorithms, applications, environments,
languages, models and systems. CP 2004 includes a technical programme,
where presentations of theoretical and application papers, as well as
invited talks and tutorials, aim at describing the best results and
techniques in the state-of-the-art of constraint programming. 
Moreover, CP 2004 continues the tradition of the CP doctoral
programme, in which PhD students can present their work, listen to
tutorials on career and ethical issues, and discuss their work with
senior researchers via a mentoring scheme. Finally, there will also be
a number of workshops, where researchers will be able to meet in an
informal setting and discuss their most recent ideas with their peers. 
 
Papers are solicited from any of the disciplines concerned with
constraints and any of the domains using constraints. Topics include
problem modelling, problem solving, efficiency and usability. Papers
which report on successful applications of constraint technology are
also solicited. 
 
Submitted papers must be original and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. Authors are required to prepare their papers by following
the Springer instructions found at: 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. A page limit of 15 will
be strictly enforced. The proceedings, comprising papers accepted as
full length (15 pages) or short (5 pages), will be published by
Springer Verlag, in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
