Submission deadline | July 16, 2021 |
The CP Doctoral Program 2021 is a subtrack of the Twenty-Seventh Conference International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming. The DP is open to all students doing research in constraint programming or related areas, including participants of past DPs.
The aim is to gather early-career (student) researchers in order to discuss ongoing research in a relaxed atmosphere. Additionally the DP aims to provide opportunities for students to interact with more experienced researchers.
The DP is a full day event at the main conference. The program will consist of short presentations of the student papers, discussions with senior researchers and networking opportunities. If a physical conference is going ahead, the day will close with a dinner. If the conference is online, the day will conclude with social games online. A detailed program will be published once decisions on the concrete arrangements of the main conference are made.
Submission Guidelines
Students may submit either:
- An (ongoing) research paper. The paper should include the motivation of the work and provide technical details.
- A summary of their research / PhD topic.
Submissions must be no longer than eight pages, not including references. Shorter papers are welcome. Students with a paper accepted to the main conference are encouraged to take the second option. Each submission will be reviewed by one student (i.e. participant in the DP) as well as one senior researcher.
The submission format is the same as for the main conference (LIPIcs). The author list must clearly specify the main student author along with advisors and co-authors. Submissions are required to be in PDF format.
The submissions to the doctoral program will not be anonymous. However, due to the overlap between the review period for the main conference and the DP, submissions detailing work under review at the main conference can be submitted anonymously. Only submissions that could reveal the identity of the author of a main conference submission can be anonymized. In order for an anonymous submission to be accepted, please send an e-mail to the chair of the DP (Jeremias) including both the submission number of the DP paper, and the submission number of the main conference paper.
Papers accepted to the doctoral program will be made available online, but are not published in formal printed proceedings. They may therefore be reused or extended for other conferences in the future.
Posters: In case a physical conference is organized, the participants of the DP are expected to prepare an A0 scientific poster of submission.
Videos: In case of an online conference, the participants are expected to prepare a short video presentation of their submission.
