Second Call for Papers *** Submission deadline June 1, 2018 ***
Special Track on SAT and CSP
at the
30th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence
(IEEE ICTAI’2018)
http://www.ictai2018.org/
November 05-07, 2018
Volos, Greece
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@ICTAI2018 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
==========
Papers must be full papers 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://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ictai2018). See submission
instructions in http://ictai2018.org/submission.htm
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unpublished and not submitted elsewhere during the whole ICTAI review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 2018 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 2018 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
