Information for Authors
Proceedings
Proceedings will be published as a Springer volume. The conference proceedings will be available in SpringerLink.
Submissions
Authors should prepare a manuscript of no more than 12 pages, including results, figures, and references, using the Springer Verlag contributed book style in LaTeX (SVMult) or MS Word.
Please refer to the Manuscript Preparation Guidelines that provide detailed instructions for preparing your manuscript.
Authors should submit a PDF file through the EasyChair submission link. If accepted, the final version of the submission will include either the LaTeX source or MS Word, with all figures, and the generated PDF.
If the manuscript is meant for a special session, the title you enter into the EasyChair system must have the name of the special session at the beginning (session_title: paper_title). For instance, if you are submitting a paper entitled "An Image Processing Algorithm to Detect Defects in Optical Fibers" to a special session on "Image and Signal Processing", the title you enter into the EasyChair system should be: "IMAGE AND SIGNAL PROCESSING: An Image Processing Algorithm to Detect Defects in Optical Fibers". In addition, please submit your contribution to the organizer of the Special Session.
We strongly encourage students to submit papers under the mentorship of their faculty advisors. Special best paper awards will be presented at the conference banquet to recognize the accomplishments of students. To qualify, a student or a group of students must be the primary author(s) of the paper. The papers will be judged based on both manuscript content and presentation quality.
Event Speakers
Information will be available after the paper reviews are completed.

Constraint programming techniques are important components of intelligent systems. They constitute a declarative and efficient methodology to represent and solve many practical problems. They have been applied successfully to a number of fields, such as scheduling of air traffic, software engineering, networks security, chemistry, and biology. Despite the proved usefulness of these techniques, they are still under-utilized in real-life applications. One reason is the perceived lack of effective communication between constraint programming experts and domain practitioners about constraints, in general, and their use in decision making, in particular

Conference Venue
The conference will be hosted at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, NS, Canada.
Over the last decade Halifax has emerged as one of the most desirable summer and autumn tourist destinations, see discoverhalifaxns.com
The organizers are continuously monitoring Covid-19 related travel restrictions. We wish to proceed cautiously and within the parameters of public health guidelines to ensure health and safety of all the participants. NAFIPS 2022 will take place in a dual mode: in-person and virtual, allowing flexible participation.
How to Get to Halifax
- Halifax has one international airport, the award-winning Stanfield International Airport, located just 30mins from the downtown core.
- Halifax Stanfield offers roughly 150 weekly flights from Toronto, 70 from montreal and 85 from Ottawa. With daily flights from Boston, New York, Newark, Philadelphia and Orlando.
- Halifax Stanfield International Airport is also the only airport in Atlantic Canada to offer U.S pre-clearance, making travel that much easier.
- HALIFAX AIRPORT SHUTTLE: Maritime Bus offers the Halifax Airport Shuttle, making it even easier to get to and from the airport stress-free.
