Introduction to Constraint Programming is a PhD level course that is given by Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering (IDt) at Mälardalen University, in collaboration with SICS. It yields 5 credits.
The general contents and prerequisites are described in the course plan (in Swedish, preliminary).
The course is open to any PhD students, from any university (your respective main advisors will decide its appropriateness). Anyone is invited to follow the lectures without taking the examination.

Signup for the course is by email to bola#sics.se. The mail should contain: name, "personnummer", home university and department (if different from MdH, IDt), and email address.
We will set up a mailing list constraints02#idt.mdh.se, that is used for rapid distribution of important course information to the students. (You can also use it yourself if you want to reach the course participants in some important matter.) All students who register for the course will become members of the mailing list. If, for some reason, you don't want to be included, (or, if we somehow miss to put you on the list), then please mail Markus about it.
The course will take place in period 2 (weeks 44-51), with start week 45. The first lecture in the course will take place Thursday Nov 7, 13.15-15.00, in the Turing room at IDt.
The schedule is now fixed (?), we will be in the Turing room at IDt.Lecture 2: fullscreen gzip'ed postscript, fullscreen PDF, 2 slides/page gzip'ed postscript, 2 slides/page PDF

The examination on the course will be 3 assignments to be handed in and corrected, and 3 labs.
We will not order any copies of the books, since we are not sure about the turnout. It is, however. simple to order from the places referenced above.
