SICS Seminar Series:
Combinatorial Optimization and Constraint Technology

This seminar series is intended to be a forum for interaction for people interested in combinatorial optimization problems and methods for modelling and solving such problems. Specifically, I would like to try and bring together people from the diverse scientific camps working on such problems: the OR/mathematical programming, constraint programming, connectionist, stochastic search, and approximation algorithm communities, to name a few. Up to now, there has been little interaction between researchers in these areas, and I believe we have a lot to learn from each other.

I have in mind quarterly one-day seminars, with 5-6 talks or tutorials per seminar. The talks will be informal, presenting ongoing research thus giving an opportunity for feed-back, constructive criticism, and inspirations for new directions of work. Tutorials on specific topics are particularly welcome. There will be no formal proceedings or registration fees.

Contributions are solicited! If you would like to present something, please send me a title, abstract, and any time constraints. In particular, given the mixed background of the audience, one or two talks giving overviews of the basic concepts and methods are solicited.

A mailing list of interested people is maintained. Please send me a message if you want to be added to the list.
