1st Declarative Problem Solving Workshop
DPSW 2020

https://sites.google.com/view/dpsw2020/

Santiago de Compostela, Spain
August 30th, 2020
(extended deadline, April 20th)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: ECAI and its workshops have been rescheduled to
August 29th - Sept 2nd, 2020 due to COVID19 delay

AIMS AND SCOPE

DPSW 2020 is the first edition of the Declarative Problem Solving Workshop,
inside ECAI 2020 to be held on August 30th, 2020 (new date!) at Santiago de
Compostela, Spain. Declarative Problem Solving consists in finding
solutions to computational problems by exclusively using a description of
the relevant domain knowledge and the conditions imposed by the problem to
be solved. Solutions are then computed by generic solvers rather than by
specific, problem oriented algorithms that describe the steps to follow.
The workshop aims to bring together researchers from disciplines related to
problem solving under a declarative specification. This includes different
types of computational problems, such as combinatorial, optimization,
numerical constraints, planning, scheduling, temporal constraints, etc, or
combinations of these categories provided that their specification is made
in terms of some declarative formal language. Papers may cover from
fundamental results to solvers implementation or descriptions of practical
applications. Contributions exploring combinations or relations among
different paradigms for problem solving are encouraged.

TOPICS

Conference topics include, but are not limited to:

- Problem solving paradigms:
SAT, QBF, SMT, ASP, PDDL, action languages, etc
- Expressiveness and computational complexity
- Translations among DPS paradigms
- Numerical constraint problems
- Optimization problems
- Scheduling problems
- Planning problems
- Temporal problems
- Spatial problems
- Argumentation Problems
- Ontologies in problem solving
- Problem solving and natural language
- Learning relevant domain knowledge
- Benchmark collections

SUBMISSION

Paper format is flexible but papers should not exceed 15 pages in single
column or 7 in double column, excluding the references. Papers must be
written in English and submitted in PDF only. Submission will be handled
electronically by means of the easychair system at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dpsw2020

Contributions already published or accepted for publication at other
conferences are also welcome, provided that the original reference is
mentioned in a footnote on the first page. AEPIA sponsors invitations for
journal publication to two papers presenting original contributions: one
in a special issue of the International Journal of Interactive Multimedia
and AI (IJIMAI) and one in Progress in Artificial Intelligence. These
invitations will be made on the basis of originality, paper quality and
relevance to each journal.

IMPORTANT DATES
(new dates due to COVID19 delay)

* Paper submission: April 20th, 2020 (extended)
* Notification: May 7th, 2020
* Final versions due: June 20th, 2020
* Workshop date: August 30th, 2020

INVITED SPEAKER

Vladimir Lifschitz, University of Texas at Austin, USA

VENUE

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of the Autonomous Region of Galicia,
located in the Northwest of Spain. The historical city's old town has
been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its cathedral has been the
destination of a pilgrimage route, The Way of Saint James, since the IX
century and constitutes one of the three main historical destinations of
Christian pilgrimage, together with Rome and Jerusalem.
