OverviewConstraints have emerged as the basis of a representational and computational paradigm that draws from many disciplines and can be brought to bear on many problem domains. [ Back to top ] ScopeThe track is concerned with all aspects of computing with constraints including algorithms, applications, environments, languages, models, and systems. Contributions are welcome from any discipline concerned with constraints, including artificial intelligence, combinatorial algorithms, computational logic, concurrent computation, databases, discrete mathematics, operations research, programming languages, and symbolic computation. We also solicit papers from any domain employing constraints, including computational linguistics, configuration, decision support, design, diagnosis, graphics, hardware verification, molecular biology, planning, qualitative reasoning, real-time systems, resource allocation, robotics, scheduling, software engineering, temporal reasoning, vision, visualization, and user interfaces. Papers that bridge disciplines or combine theory and practice or discuss novel reasoning methods are especially welcome. A special attention is focused around the use of constraint technologies in the networking, wireless and internet fields. [ Back to top ] SubmissionsWe would like to invite authors to submit papers on research on constraint solving and programming, with particular emphasis on assessing the current state of the art and identifying future directions. Preliminary guidelinesSubmissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing: papers being submitted should not list the authors, affiliations or addresses on the first page and authors are also encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimise references that may reveal the identity of the authors or institution. The body of each paper should not exceed 4,000 words. Papers failing to comply with length limitations risk immediate rejection.
At least three reviewers will be assigned to each submission to the track. Accepted papers
are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the Web
through the ACM Digital Library. Once accepted, papers must fit within five (5)
two column pages (please check the author kit on the main SAC website:
the format is usually the format used in the ACM templates),
with the
option (at additional expense) to add three (3) more pages. Authors of accepted papers must be prepared to sign a copyright statement and must pay the registration fee and guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference.
Paper submissions should be sent (as an attached PDF file) to: The body of the email should include the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which correspondence should be sent. The subject of the email should be "SAC2005 constraint track submission" We strongly suggest to use for submission the available camera ready templates, and adhere to the 5 page limitation. Registration is required for paper and poster inclusion in the Conference Proceedings, and for event attendance.
