ECAI 2006 Workshop on Configuration

Overview

The 2006 Configuration Workshop continues the series of eight successful Configuration Workshops started at the AAAI'96 Fall Symposium and continued on IJCAI, AAAI, and ECAI since 1999.

The main goal of the workshop is to promote high-quality research in all technical areas related to configuration and to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia. The workshop is of interest for both researchers working in the various fields within the wide range of applicable AI technologies (like Constraint Programming, SAT-Solving, Description Logics, Non-monotonic Reasoning, and Case-Based Reasoning) as well as for industry representatives interested in the relationship between configuration technology and the business problem behind configuration and mass customization.
