Decisions of the Executive Committee

In this quarterly report 1, we provide updates on the ACP Executive Committee, the ACP Summer School 2025, and the calls for awards and bids for CP 2027 and ACP Summer School 2026!

ACP.1: Executive Committee Update

The ACP held elections last year to replace four outgoing members of the Executive Committee (EC).

We as a community greatly thank outgoing members David Bergman (president), Tias Guns (secretary), Zeynep Kiziltan (DEI delegate), and Chris Beck (past president).

In this quarterly report 4, we provide updates on AAAI Bridge and the coming two CP conferences.

AAAI25 Bridge

Eugene Freuder and Barry O'Sullivan are organizing the AAAI-25 Constraint Programming and Machine Learning Bridge, part of the AAAI-25 Bridge Program.

The focus will be on bringing together the traditional AI fields of constraint-based reasoning and machine learning, but participants from related fields of reasoning, optimization and learning, e.g. SAT, operations research, data mining, will be welcome.

This quarterly report brings you reports on the CP conference including the awards handed out, the general assembly and new ACP members, a call for DEI representatives and more.
