variables entering the mathematical model of a real-life situation
to be analyzed. It is of great interest to ?nd the possible
scenarios satisfying all constraints, and, iftherearemanyofthem,
eitherto?ndthebestsolution, ortoobtainacompact, explicit
representation of the whole feasible set. The 2nd Workshop on
Global Constrained Optimization and Constraint S- isfaction, COCOS
2003, which took place during November 18 21, 2003 in L- sanne,
Switzerland, was dedicated to theoretical, algorithmic, and
application oriented advances in answering these questions. Here
global optimization refers to ?nding the absolutely best feasible
point, while constraint satisfaction refers
to?ndingallpossiblefeasiblepoints.AsinCOCOS2002,
the?rstsuchworkshop (see the proceeedings 1]), the emphasis was on
complete solving techniques for problems involving continuous
variables that provide all solutions with full rigor, and on
applications which, however, were allowed to have relaxed standards
of rigor. The participants used the opportunity to meet experts
from global optimi- tion, mathematical programming, constraint
programming, and applications, and to present and discuss ongoing
work and new directions in the ?eld. Four invited lectures and 20
contributed talks were presented at the workshop. The invited
lectures were given by John Hooker (Logic-Based Methods for Global
Optimization), Jean-Pierre Merlet (Usual and Unusual Applications
of Interval Analysis), Hermann Schichl (The COCONUT Optimization
Environment), and Jorge Mor e (Global Optimization Computational
Servers). This volume contains the text of Hooker s invited lecture
and of 12 c- tributed talks. Copies of the slides for most
presentations can be found at 2].
