This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed and extended post-proceedings of the ERCIM/CoLogNet International Workshop on Constraint Satisfaction and Constraint Logic Programming, CSCLP 2004, held in Lausanne, Switzerland in June 2004. Besides papers taken from the workshop, others are submitted in response to an open call for papers after the workshop. The 15 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 30submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on constraint propagation, constraint search, and applications.

Semantic caching Data warehousing and semantic data mining Spatial, temporal, multimedia and multimodal semantics Semantics in data visualization Semantic services for mobile users Supporting tools Applications of semantic-driven approaches These topics are to be understood as specifically related to semantic issues. Contributions submitted to the journal and dealing with semantics of data will be considered even if they are not from the topics in the list. While the physical appearance of the journal issues is like the books from the we- known Springer LNCS series, the mode of operation is...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed and extended post-proceedings of the Joint ERCIM/CoLogNet International Workshop on Constraint Solving and Constraint Logic Programming, CSCLP 2005. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on global constraints, search and heuristics, language and implementation issues, and modeling.

The promise of the Semantic Web is to move from a Web of data to a Web of meaning and distributed services. This vision of the Web has attracted - searchersfromdi?erent horizonswith the aims of de?ning newarchitecturesand languages necessary to make it possible, and of developing the ?rst applications of these concepts. This book contains the articles selected for publication and presentation at the workshop Principles and Practice of Semantic Web Reasoning PPSWR 2005, together with three invited talks. Three major aspects of Semantic Web research are represented in this selection:...

Constraint programming (CP) is a powerful programming paradigm for the declarativedescription and the e?ective solving of largecombinatorialproblems. Basedonastrongtheoreticalfoundation, itisincreasinglyattractingcommercial interest. Since the 1990s, CP has been deployed by many industry leaders, in particular to model heterogeneous optimization and satisfaction problems. - amples of application domains where such problems naturally arise, and where constraint programming has made a valuable contribution, are scheduling, p- duction planning, communication networks, routing, planning of...
