Call for Abstracts
Workshop on Nonlinear Optimization in Constraint Programming
To be held within the 18th International Conference on Principles and
Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2012), Québec City, Canada
https://sites.google.com/site/minlpworkshop2012
This workshop has the purpose of bringing together scholars that work
on Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) problems, which combine
nonlinear constraints with integrality on one or more variables. The
organizing committee invites submissions of a short abstract (not more
than 4000 characters) describing original work on a problem or
application of MINLP, CP, or both, with a special emphasis on the
nonlinear characteristics of the problem. Topics of interest include
(but are not limited to):
- Domain reduction techniques in Global optimization;
- Quadratically constrained quadratic programming;
- Reformulations in MINLP solvers;
- Using CP methods in MINLP solvers;
- Software for MINLP and CP;
- Decomposition techniques for large scale MINLP and CP problems;
- Challenging real-world applications of MINLP and CP.
The submissions will be evaluated by the program committee and a
selection of abstracts will be admitted for presentation at the
workshop. Registration at the CP2012 conference is necessary to attend
and present at the workshop. Abstracts can be emailed to Pietro
Belotti (pbelott@clemson.edu).
