This volume is the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on the Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming, held at Rosario, Orcas Island, Washington, USA in May 1994 in cooperation with AAAI and ALP.
The volume contains 27 full revised papers selected from 87 submissions as well as a summary of a panel session on commercial applications of constraint programming. The contributions cover a broad range of topics including constraint programming languages, algorithms for constraint satisfaction and entailment, and constraints and their relation to fields such as artificial intelligence, databases, operations research, problem solving, and user interfaces.

Value sensitive design is a theoretically grounded approach to the design of technology that accounts for human values in a principled and systematic manner throughout the design process. A Survey of Value Sensitive Design Methods looks at 14 value sensitive design methods, each of which is honed to the investigation of values in technology, serving such purposes as stakeholder identification and legitimation, value representation and elicitation, and values analysis. While presented individually, the methods are intended to be integrated in a robust value sensitive design process. A Survey of Value Sensitive Design Methods begins with a summary of value sensitive design methodology and theoretical constructs. Having introduced the 14 methods, it turns to a broader discussion of value sensitive design practice, focusing on some methodological strategies and heuristics to support skillful value sensitive design practice. Following the broad discussion of practice, it illustrates one method in action-value scenarios-providing details on its range of purposes and contexts. It concludes with reflections on core characteristics of value sensitive design methods, and heuristics for methodological innovation.
