CR2G currently gathers together a little over 10 people sharing interest in constraints and related topics, such as: symbolic-numeric computations, interval arithmetic, optimization, multi-criteria decision making; as well as in applications of constraints, such as: program verification, bio-medical engineering. We are also passionate about sharing our passion! So we work on small projects for school kids (elementary, middle, high) and catch any opportunity to go and visit to present them.

We welcome anyone interested in joining our group!

This page is dedicated to reporting our work, findings, activities. Although reporting on all activities of CR2G, it has a special emphasis on reporting on the NSF CAREER project of Dr. Ceberio (01/2010-12/2014) and on the international workshop, CoProD, that the group annually organizes.
