Constraint programming is a very successful ?fth-generation
software techn- ogy with a wide range of applications. It has
attracted a large community of researchers that is particularly
strong in Europe. In particular, constraint programming is the
focus of the Working Group on Constraints of the European Research
Consortium for Informatics and Mat- matics (ERCIM) as well as a
major interest of the European Network on C- putational Logic
(CoLogNET). These groups jointly sponsored a workshop on Constraint
Satisfaction and Constraint Logic Programming (CSCLP 2004) held
June23-25attheEcolePolytechniqueF ed eraledeLausanne(EPFL)inSwitz-
land. It was hosted by the Arti?cial Intelligence Laboratory of the
EPFL, which is also a member of both groups.

of constraint programming in general. We hope the reader will ?nd
this volume helpful for advancing their understanding of issues in
constraint programming. December 2004 Boi Faltings Adrian Petcu

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third
European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning, EWCBR-96, held in
Lausanne, Switzerland, in November 1996.
Case-based reasoning is an appealing technique for dealing with the
knowledge acquisition bottleneck in computer applications;
solutions to new problems are found by adapting similar experience
from the past, called cases. The 38 revised full papers presented
were carefully selected from a broad variety of submissions after a
thorough refereeing process. The volume refleats the state of the
art in case-based reasoning research and applications.
Intelligent systems often depend on data provided by information
agents, for example, sensor data or crowdsourced human computation.
Providing accurate and relevant data requires costly effort that
agents may not always be willing to provide. Thus, it becomes
important not only to verify the correctness of data, but also to
provide incentives so that agents that provide high-quality data
are rewarded while those that do not are discouraged by low
rewards. We cover different settings and the assumptions they
admit, including sensing, human computation, peer grading, reviews,
and predictions. We survey different incentive mechanisms,
including proper scoring rules, prediction markets and peer
prediction, Bayesian Truth Serum, Peer Truth Serum, Correlated
Agreement, and the settings where each of them would be suitable.
As an alternative, we also consider reputation mechanisms. We
complement the game-theoretic analysis with practical examples of
applications in prediction platforms, community sensing, and peer
grading.
