Call for Papers *** New submission deadline July 7, 2019 ***
Special Track on SAT and CSP
at the
31th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence
(IEEE ICTAI’2019)
http://www.ictai2019.org/
November 04-06, 2019
Portland, Oregon, USA
Constraint Programming (CP) and Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) are two
related major topics of research in Artificial Intelligence. They have
proved to be the most efficient techniques at the heart of general-purpose
combinatorial problem solving, with application ranging from automation of
logics, verification, planning and scheduling, both in academic research
and industry.
Over the years, the ICTAI conference has become a major forum for the CSP
and SAT research communities for presenting new high-quality results. The
special track SAT/CSP@ICTAI2019 is intended to be a forum for new ideas and
techniques using satisfiability and constraint solving. It particularly
welcomes new core solving techniques, extensions to other domains of AI and
applications.
Topics
=====
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
SAT, SMT and CSP Solvers
Modeling, methodologies and tools
Implementation of solvers and global constraints
Applications of CSP and SAT-based technologies
Complete, incomplete and hybrid search techniques, heuristics,
metaheuristics
AI techniques based on SAT and CSP
Tractable classes of problems, FPT, decompositions
Soft and weighted constraints, optimization, MAX-SAT, MAX-CSP
Machine learning, deep learning in SAT and CSP
Social network engineering with SAT and CSP
Submissions
==========
Submissions must contain original high quality research work. Full papers
should be up to 8 pages and follow the standard IEEE formatting
instructions for conference papers (single-spaced, double-column, 10-point
font size).
Papers must be submitted in pdf only through the Easychair special track
submission page (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictai2019),
please select special track page. See submission instructions in
http://ictai2019.org/
All papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program
committee. Papers must report high-quality original work, be unpublished
and not submitted elsewhere during the whole ICTAI review process.
Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors and
accompanied by at least one full ICTAI 2019 registration fee payment, to
guarantee publication in the proceedings.
Proceedings and Special Journal Issue
=============================
All papers accepted in the CSP and SAT technologies special track will be
included in the ICTAI 2019 main proceedings published by the IEEE Computer
Society. Extended versions of the best papers are expected to be invited
for publication in a special issue of an International Journal after an
additional round of reviews.
Important Dates
