Submissions to the Innovative Applications program --- use the general submission page, selecting  the "applications" keyword. The submission page is available here.

Innovative Applications is a programme under the Constraint Programming 2002 Conference. The Innovative Applications track is a forum for practitioners and end users of constraint technology, and an interface between them and researchers in constraints.

The purpose of this programme is to report successful applications of constraint technology, so as to attract potential users and researchers to this technology. Papers submitted to this track will mainly be judged by the success of applications reported. Authors may withhold confidential technical details if preferred.

We welcome submissions in, but not limited to, the following topics:

• surveys of an application area, including problems to which constraint programming may be applied, experience in applying constraint programming, and areas where further research is required to meet industrial needs;
• software engineering aspects of constraint programming, including modeling, debugging, verification and solving ill-defined applications;
• solutions of constraint problems using multiple solving techniques, including cooperative algorithms, hybrid solver configurations, and embedding constraint techniques in logic programming;
• the evaluation and comparison of approaches, including operational research vs. constraint programming, and stochastic vs. complete search techniques.
