Overview
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different fields that work on modeling and solving discrete optimization problems that can be factorized into independent pieces.
Some paradigms that fall into this description are:
- Weighted CSP
- Max-SAT
- Pseudo-Boolean Optimization
- Max-SMT
- Markov Random Field
- Bayesian Network
- Constraint Optimization Problem
- Graphical Model
- Integer Programming
Of particular interest to the workshop is the presentation of modeling and solving techniques in one paradigm that can be transferred to the others producing cross-fertilization.
This workshop is intended to build on the experience and success of the
workshops on Preferences and Soft Constraints:
-
Girona, Spain (in conjuntion with CP 2024)
-
Perugia, Italy (in conjunction with CP 2011)
-
St Andrews, Scotland (in conjunction with CP 2010)
-
Sydney, Australia (in conjunction with CP 2008)
-
Nantes, France (in conjunction with CP 2006)
-
Sitges, Spain (in conjunction with CP 2005)
-
Toronto, Canada (in conjunction with CP 2004)
-
Kinsale, Ireland (in conjunction with CP 2003)
-
Ithaca, USA (in conjunction with CP 2002)
-
Paphos, Cyprus (in conjunction with CP 2001)
-
Singapore (in conjunction with CP 2000)

Submissions
The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where researchers
currently working in this area can exchange their ideas, discuss new
developments and explore possible future directions. Therefore, we
welcome and encourage three types of submission:
-
Work in progress and Original work. Submissions of an extended abstract or a full paper, up to 15 pages in the LIPIcs format, about unpublished ideas will be reviewed by a double-blind process and if accepted and the authors agree the final version will be made available on the workshop website.
-
Already published work. Authors who are interested in giving a
presentation to the workshop's audience may submit their work
non-anonymously while indicating where this work has been
published. We will only accept work which has been published in
the last calendar year (e.g., CPAIOR 2024, CP 2024, ECAI 2024, IJCAI 2024, AAAI 2025, and any
conference held after May 2024).
-
Papers rejected from the main CP conference. Decisions about acceptance of these papers will be based on their reviews.
Submissions should be emailed, in PDF form, with subject line “Soft 2025 Workshop Submission Type [1-2-3]”, directly to the two Workshop chairs, at: gkatsi@gmail.com and carlos.ansotegui@udl.cat. The type of submission as defined above should be clearly stated in the subject line.
At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop.
This workshop is open to all members of the CP community. All workshop
participants must pay the workshop fee (payment of a single fee
provides admission to all CP workshops).
