This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming, CP 2002, held in Ithaca, NY, USA in September 2002.
The 38 revised full papers and 6 innovative application papers as well as the 14 short papers presented toghether with 25 abstracts from contributions to the doctoral program were carefully reviewed and selected from 146 submissions. All current issues in constraint processing are addressed, ranging from theoretical and foundational issues to application in various fields.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Integration of AI and OR Techniques in Constraint Programming for Combinatorial Optimization Problems, CPAIOR 2007, held in Brussels, Belgium in May 2007. It covers methodological and foundational issues from AI, OR, and algorithmics as well as applications to the solution of combinatorial optimization problems in various fields via constraint programming.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Static Analysis, SAS '97, held in Paris, France, in September 1997.
The 23 revised papers were selected from 61 high-quality submissions on the basis of at least three reviews. Also included are one system demonstration, three posters, and six invited contributions by leading scientists. The papers are organized in topical sections on procedural languages, logic programming, concurrency, and termination.

This volume contains the papers presented at the Eighth International S- posium on Practical Aspects of Declarative Languages (PADL 2006) held on January 9-10, 2006, in Charleston, South Carolina. Information about the c- ference can be found athttp: //www.cs.brown.edu/people/pvh/PADL06.html. As is now traditional, PADL 2006 was co-located with the 33rd Annual Sym- sium on Principles of Programming Languages that was held on January 11-13, 2006. The PADL conference series is a forum for researchers and practioners to present original work emphasizing novel applications and implementation te-...

Hybrid Optimization focuses on the application of artificial intelligence and operations research techniques to constraint programming for solving combinatorial optimization problems. This book covers the most relevant topics investigated in the last ten years by leading experts in the field, and speculates about future directions for research.

This book includes contributions by experts from different but related areas of research including constraint programming, decision theory, operations research, SAT, artificial intelligence, as well as others. These diverse...
