The CP conference is the annual international conference on constraint
programming.  It is concerned with all aspects of computing with
constraints, including theory, algorithms, environments, languages, models,
systems, and applications such as decision making, resource allocation, and
agreement technologies.

CP 2011 will feature pre-conference workshops and a 4-day technical program
packed with invited talks, award-winning paper presentations, presentations
by winners of the ACP Research Excellence and Doctoral Research Awards,
research and application track sessions, tutorials, a panel on the future
of CP, and a Doctoral Program.

The organizers also promise a unique Italian and Perugian experience in
terms of social events, including a welcome reception in Rocca Paolina, an
excursion and conference banquet in medieval Assisi, a jazz evening at the
National Gallery Museum and, last but not the least, wine and drinks and a
raffle at the end of the conference with an iPad 2 as one of the prizes.
Please make sure that you stay until the end of the conference.
