              Ninth International Conference on
       Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming

The CP'2003  Program  Committee  invites proposals  for the Tutorial 
Program. 

CP'2003  tutorials  are  ideally targeted  at the  whole  constraint 
community and should  give a state of the art description of a field 
of research  related to constraint programming or of a large area of 
application.  As an example, the topics of tutorials in the previous 
CP  conferences  were:  numerical  CSPs,  global  constraints,  soft 
constraints,  mathematical programming, cooperation between methods, 
areas of application (eg. bioinformatics), etc. 

Tutorials will take place during the technical program. 

Important Dates:
 - May 15, 2003: Proposal submission deadline 
 - June 15, 2003: Acceptance notification 
 - September 30-October 3: CP technical program and tutorials 

Proposals for tutorials should contain the following information: 
 - The title  and a brief  technical  description  of the  tutorial, 
   specifying the goals and the technical issues it will focus on. 
 - A brief  discussion  of  why  and  to  whom  the  tutorial  is of 
   interest. 
 - The name and email address of the main organizer. 

More information is available on the web page of the conference. 

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail (in ASCII), 
to bessiere@lirmm.fr.

The  CP'2003 Program  Committee invites  proposals for  the Workshop 
Program. 

CP'2003 workshops  will provide  an informal setting  where workshop 
participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical 
topics  in an  atmosphere  that facilitates  the active  exchange of 
ideas.  It is an opportunity  to disseminate  work in progress or to 
promote new  and emerging areas within the field of constraints. The 
topics of  the workshops  can cover any  area related to constraints 
and any related cross-disciplinary areas. 

Workshops are planned for Monday, September 29, 2003. 
Workshops will be half-day long,  except special cases  motivated by 
the  organizers.  The  internal  format  of  the  workshop  will  be 
determined  by the organizers.  Workshop  attendees  must pay the CP 
workshop  registration fee  in addition to the  CP'2003 registration 
fee. 

Important Dates:
 - March 31, 2003: Proposal submission deadline 
 - April 20, 2003: Acceptance notification 
 - August 31, 2003: Deadline for workshop working notes 
 - September 29, 2003: CP'2003 workshops

Proposals workshops should contain the following information: 
 - The  title  and  a brief  technical  description of the workshop, 
   specifying the goals and the technical issues it will focus on. 
 - A  brief  discussion  of  why  and  to  whom  the workshop  is of 
   interest. 
 - A list of tentatively confirmed attendees, if available. 
 - A list of related workshops  held within the last three years, if 
   any, and their relation to the proposed workshop. 
 - A list of  workshops  previously  arranged by  any members of the 
   proposed organizing committee, if any. 
 - The names  of the proposed  organizing committee.  This committee 
   should  consist  of two  or three people knowledgeable  about the 
   technical  issues  o be addressed, preferably not coming from the 
   same institution. 
 - The name and email address of the main organizer. 

More information is available on the web page of the conference. 

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail (in ASCII),
