Call for Papers
The 25th International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS 2015), June 7-11, 2015, Jerusalem, Israel. Website , Email icaps15@easychair.org for inquiries .
Important Dates
The timetable for paper submissions and reviewing is as follows:
| Electronic abstracts: | November 14th, 2014 |
| Electronic PDF papers: | November 18th, 2014 |
| Notification of acceptance: | January 20th, 2015 |
The reference timezone for all deadlines is UTC-12. If you are in time anywhere on the world, you are in time.
Special tracks:
- Planning and Scheduling in Robotics.
- Novel Applications of Automated Planning and Scheduling.
The ICAPS 2015 program committee invites paper submissions related to automated planning and scheduling. Relevant contributions include, but are not limited to:
- Theoretical and empirical studies of planning and scheduling problems and algorithms for solving them;
- Novel techniques and approaches that extend the scope and scale of problems that can be solved; and
- Analytic and implemented tools supporting automated planning and scheduling.
- Case studies of applying automated planning and scheduling technologies to significant problems.
Special Tracks
ICAPS 2015 will continue to host two special tracks:
- Robotics: Planning, execution, and coordination for individual or teams of robots, at the level of tasks, behaviors and motions; applications in autonomous, mixed-initiative, and human-robot interactive systems; preference for techniques demonstrated on actual robot systems.
- Novel Applications: Emerging and deployed applications, case studies and lessons learned.
Additionally, the ICAPS program will include journal presentations , workshops and tutorials, each having separate submission and notification dates, to be announced separately. More information regarding tracks will be available soon in the Special Tracks section.
Author Guidelines
Authors may submit long papers (8 pages plus up to one page of references) or short papers (4 pages plus up to one page of references). The type of paper must be indicated at submission time. For more information, see icaps15.icaps-conference.org.
All papers, regardless of length, will be reviewed against the standard criteria of relevance, originality, significance, clarity and soundness, and are expected to meet the same high standards set by ICAPS. Short papers may be of narrower scope, for example by addressing a highly specific issue, or proposing or evaluating a small, yet important, extension of previous work or new idea.
Authors making multiple submissions must ensure that each submission has significant unique content. Papers submitted to ICAPS'15 may not be submitted to other conferences or journals during the ICAPS’15 review period nor may they be already under review or published in other conferences or journals. Overlength papers will be rejected without review.
Topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- applications and case studies of planning and scheduling techniques
- uncertainty and stochasticity in planning and scheduling
- partially observable and unobservable domains
- conformant, contingent and adversarial planning
- plan and schedule execution, monitoring and repair
- continuous planning, on-line and real-time domains
- plan recognitionm plan management and goal reasoning
- classical planning techniques and analysis
- continuous state and action spaces
- multi-agent and distributed planning
- domain modeling, knowledge acquisition and engineering
- machine learning for planning and scheduling
Reviewing is double-blind. Authors should take care to remove all identifying information from submissions.
Submissions may be accompanied by an attachment. This may be in the form of an appendix, or media (e.g., video) relevant to demonstrating the work. However, papers must be self-contained. An attachment may be provided only as a resource that reviewers may take advantage of if they so wish. Reviewers have no obligation to access attachments or consider them in evaluating a submission.
All submissions will be made electronically, through the EasyChair conference system: Icaps15 Submissions site
