In 1997 in the paper “In Pursuit of the Holy Grail” Prof. Gene Freuder proposed that Constraint Programming was well-positioned to pursue the Holy Grail of computer science: the user simply states the problem and the computer solves it.  Twenty two year later on September 30, 2019, at CP 2019 at Stamford, CT, U.S., Gene Freuder will run  the workshop that will look at progress towards that goal.
