The International Conference on Automated Planning & Scheduling (ICAPS) is the result of the merging of the International Conference on AI Planning and Scheduling (AIPS) and the European Conference on Planning (ECP). ICAPS 2004 will be the 14th conference in the series, coming after ICAPS'03, six editions of AIPS and six editions of ECP.

The main ICAPS conference is accompanied by tutorials, workshops, software demonstrations, a doctoral consortium, and the international planning competition. It is co-located with the International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2004), the International Workshop on Description Logics (DL-2004), and the International Workshop on Nonmonotic Reasoning (NMRW-2004).

This year, ICAPS especially welcomes submissions on methodologies that are important for planning and scheduling (i.e, graph search, Markov decision processes and optimization algorithms) and from research communities that have been underrepresented at ICAPS in the past. However, in this context, papers describing basic techniques that could eventually be used for planning and scheduling need to clearly articulate their relevance to planning and scheduling.
