We invite interested researchers to submit contributions related to the following general themes:

DP Modeling

• • Standardized definition of a DP model: state transition function, cost transition function, state merging function, dual bounding function, etc.  

  • Standardized modeling language to describe DP models allowing for the development of a standardized set of benchmark applications.

DP Solving

• • Present latest results on existing solving techniques and methodologies.

  • Identify opportunities to combine techniques from DDOpt (including propagation, relaxed and restricted DDs, compilation methods, …) and DiDP (A* search methods, dual bounding techniques, state variable constraints, …).

Broader Impact

• • Identify problem domains, milestones, challenges, and outreach (journals, conferences, …) that will convince a broader audience (both researchers and practitioners) to become interested in this research area.

  • Dedicated applications showcasing the value of DP-based model-and-solve technology for discrete optimization.

Submission details

• Format: A short (1-2 page) abstract describing the contribution and how it relates to this workshop.

• Submit your contribution via this form 

• Submission deadline: July 10, 2023
