CP 2023 PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE IS ONLINE

Twenty-Ninth Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming

CP 2023 (https://cp2023.a4cp.org)

August 27-31, 2023, Toronto, Canada

CP is the premier international event for presenting research in all aspects of computing with constraints, including, but not restricted to: theory, algorithms, environments, languages, models, systems, and applications. CP 2023 will be held in-person in Toronto at the University of Toronto St. George campus (Downtown) (https://cp2023.a4cp.org/venue.html), August 27-31, 2023.

The CP 2023 program will include presentations of high-quality scientific papers on constraints technology. In addition to the main conference program, CP 2023 will feature 4 specialised tracks covering important topics in Constraints:

• Applications
• CP and Machine Learning
• CP and Operations Research
• Trustworthy Decision-Making
