ICAPS is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners
in automated planning and scheduling. This annual conference
resulted from merging two bi-annual conferences, namely the
International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Planning
and Scheduling (AIPS) and the European Conference on
Planning (ECP). Its topics include planning and scheduling
theory, algorithms, and applications to areas such as
manufacturing, space systems, disaster relief, software
engineering, robotics, logistics, education, crisis
response, and entertainment. Paper submissions are solicited on all
aspects of planning and scheduling, including but not
limited to:
- anytime planning and scheduling
- applications of planning and scheduling
- case-based planning
- constraint reasoning for planning and scheduling
- decision-theoretic planning and scheduling
- deductive planning
- distributed and multi-agent planning and scheduling
- domain-independent classical planning
- domain analysis and knowledge acquisition for planning
and scheduling
- dynamic scheduling
- heuristic search-based planning
- knowledge engineering techniques for planning and
scheduling
- mixed-initiative planning and scheduling
- model-theoretic approaches to planning
- planning and complexity
- planning and execution
- planning and learning
- planning and perception
- planning and reasoning about actions
- planning and scheduling under uncertainty
- planning and scheduling with complex domain models
- planning and scheduling with complex objectives
- planning with hierarchical task networks
- planning with resources
- planning, scheduling, and new information technology
- plan validation and verification
- reactive planning
- real-time planning and scheduling
- re-planning
- robot planning
- scalability in planning and scheduling
- search
- software development tools for planning and scheduling
- plan recognition
- planning and user interaction
- methodologies and tools for specification, design, implementation, or
- validation of planning systems
- philosophical foundations of action selection
- lessons learned from deployed systems
- logics and formal models for planning
- architectures for intelligent agents
We solicit in particular papers that report on the use of
planning and scheduling technology in operational
applications, either commercial or not.

Papers will be thoroughly reviewed, should contain result which
advance the state of the art in planning and scheduling, either
through theoretical or experimental analysis, and will be judged
according to their scientific and technical merits. In previous
conferences, roughly 1/3 of the submitted papers have been accepted.
Papers must be prepared according to the AAAI
style template and must be no more than eight (8) pages long,
including figures and bibliography. Paper submissions will be
electronic via the submissions link on the conference web site.
Papers must be submitted in PS or
PDF format. Authors of accepted papers must present their work at the
conference. We encourage authors of papers involving experimental
results to make their systems and data available on the web and
demonstrate their systems at the conference.
