Abstract: ECAI‐98, the 13th in this series of conferences on artificial intelligence took place in Brighton Research Center from August 23 to 28 in United Kingdom. The conference programme was opened with the workshops and tutorials. I attended the workshops Constraint techniques for artistic applications and Non binary constraints. The main 3‐day programme consisted from invited talks, standard technical reports and shorter young researcher presentations. Presentations were divided into 4 streams where every section started with standard technical reports followed by shorter young researcher presentations. Mostly I will concentrate on streams about Constraint Reasoning or on the papers close to the area of constraint programming because I am working in this area and the conference offered many interesting presentations about this subject which contributed to improvement of my knowledge about the resent research in the area.
