Rather than providing general challenges, we first focus on a small set of concrete questions that we think are worth investigating. This means by no way that other issues, such as integrating continuous and discrete constraints, are not important, but we preferred to state focussed challenges. We then make some points regarding the development of sustainable CP solvers and the way CP interacts with other computer science areas.
