==================================================================
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
==================================================================
CP-2002 invites students to apply for the CP-2002 Doctoral Programme,
which will provide an opportunity for a group of Ph.D. students to
discuss and explore their research interests and career objectives
with a panel of established researchers in Constraint Programming.
The CP-2002 doctoral programme has the following objectives: to
provide a setting for mutual feedback on participants' current
research and guidance on future research directions; to develop a
supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative
research; to support a new generation of researchers with information
and advice on academic, research, industrial, and non-traditional
career paths; to contribute to the conference goals through
interaction with other researchers and participation in conference
events.
Program: The program will consists of students' presentations and
tutorials given by senior researchers of the field.
Submissions: We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students at any
level, and from any topic area and methodology within constraint
programming. On the basis of the submissions, the Organizing
Committee will select a group of students that will be invited to
present their work during the Doctoral Programme, and also to present
a poster at the CP-2002 poster session. We expect a commitment from
all participating students to attend the entire doctoral programme.
Students accepted for participation in the Doctoral Programme will
receive complimentary conference registration and a fixed allowance
for travel/housing. The students' abstracts will be made available on
the web and their printed version will be distributed on site.
Applicants should submit by e-mail to frossi@math.unipd.it an extended
abstract. It should be at most 6 pages in length (usual LNCS style
format), and should describe original, unpublished work, completed or
in progress, that is part of the doctoral work of the student. The
extended abstract should be sent as a PostScript file.
In addition, they should ask their dissertation advisor to send a
letter of recommendation by e-mail to frossi@math.unipd.it. It must
include an expected date for thesis submission. In addition, your
advisor should indicate what he or she hopes you would gain from
participation in the doctoral programme. This letter can be sent in
as either a text or a PostScript file.
Important Dates:
-- May 1, 2002: Application Submission Deadline
