Post a reference to one of the following, together with a 100-150 word synopsis of the reference and your opinion of what is described in the reference.
- A description of a fielded application that involves constraint-based reasoning and/or optimization
- An academic or industry constraints and/or optimization conference, workshop, or symposia
- A scenario of science fiction writing, television, or film that you believe illustrates constraint-based reasoning and/or optimization, and very briefly how these methods is potentially relevant to the scenario
- A demonstration site of a constraint-based reasoning and/or optimization system
- An online course that includes a substantial amount of constraints and/or optimization material
Make sure that the reference is as specific as you can make it (e.g., a URL, together with a standard citation to the work, if available and applicable, and/or if the referenced work is not on the Web). If you cut and paste any part of the description, then make sure that quotes are used appropriately. If your post is all or mostly quoted material, or closely worded paraphrases, then you probably won’t get full credit. Your opinions and perspectives of the referenced work are important — not the particular views that you give, but the presence of some view, even if brief.
Choose some sources other than Doug’s for full credit (unless your commentary is excellent), though the topics can be the same
