The ninth international conference on Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research techniques in Constraint Programming will be held in Nantes, France, May 28 - June 1, 2012. The aim of the conference is to bring together interested researchers from Constraint Programming (CP), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Operations Research (OR) to present new techniques or new applications in combinatorial optimization and to provide an opportunity for researchers in one area to learn about techniques in the others. A main objective of this conference series is also to give these researchers the opportunity to show how the integration of techniques from different fields can lead to interesting results on large and complex problems.

The CPAIOR 2012 conference chairs invite proposals for the workshop program.

CPAIOR 2012 workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that facilitates the active exchange of ideas. It is an opportunity to disseminate work in progress or to promote new and emerging areas on the intersection of CP, AI, and OR.

All workshops will take place on May 29, 2012, at the site of the main conference. Workshops can be proposed for a full or a half day. The internal format of the workshop will be determined by the organizers of each workshop.

Proposals for workshops should contain the following information:
- The title and a brief technical description of the workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues it will focus on (this description is meant to be published on the main conference homepage).
- The intended duration of the workshop (full/half day).
- A brief discussion of why and to whom the workshop is of interest.
- A list of related workshops held within the last three years, if any, and their relation to the proposed workshop.
- The names of the proposed organizing committee.
- The name and email address of the main organizer.

Each workshop main organizer will be responsible for:
- Creating a web site for the workshop that will be linked from the CPAIOR 2012 website.
- Organizing the technical program: call for papers, selecting submissions, inviting attendant, etc. 
- Providing working pdf notes to be duplicated for the workshop by May 11, 2012.

The CPAIOR 2012 conference chairs will be responsible for the following:
- Providing publicity for the workshop series as a whole.
- Providing logistics support and a meeting place for the workshop.
- Scheduling workshops in cooperation with the workshop organizers. 
- Duplicating working notes (possibly in electronic form) and distributing them to the participants.

All proposals should be submitted by electronic mail (in ASCII), to the workshop chair.

February 6, 2012: Proposal submission deadline.
February 13, 2012: Acceptance notification.
February 27, 2012: Deadline for receipt of the URL and Call for Papers/Participation for the workshop.
