Program.

CP 2011 workshops will provide an informal setting where workshop

exchange of ideas. It is an opportunity to disseminate work in
progress or to promote new and emerging areas within the field of
constraints. The topics of the workshops can cover any area
related to constraints and any related cross-disciplinary areas.

All workshops will take place on 12 September, 2011 at the site
of the main conference. Workshops can be half-day or
full-day. The internal format of the workshop will be determined
by the organizers of each workshop. Participants can register for
workshops only.
