The Organizing Committee invites tutorial proposals for the 14th
International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling
(ICAPS 2004). Tutorials will be held on June 3, 2004, immediately prior
to the ICAPS workshops and technical sessions, and concurrently with
the technical sessions of the 9th International Conference on the
Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR'04) with
which ICAPS is co-located. Tutorial registration will be free to
ICAPS'04 participants.
We invite proposals for half-day or full day tutorials on automated
planning and scheduling, its applications (for instance, space,
manufacturing, web, robotics) and topics in related areas such as
constraints, control, diagnosis, learning, operations research,
search, software engineering. The topics of the tutorials of the last
ICAPS conference were timed automata applied to scheduling, practical
approaches to handling uncertainty in planning and scheduling,
time-bounded and time-critical reasoning, and hands-on introductory
model-checking.
The goal of those tutorials in mainstream planning and scheduling
should be to provide a comprehensive and in-depth perspective of the
state of the art in planning and scheduling research and applications.
By not being introductory in nature, the tutorials are intended for
researchers and practitioners rather than novices. The emphasis is
particularly appropriate given the fact that introductory planning and
scheduling material was covered at the PLANET International summer
school on AI Planning in June 2003. By contrast, those tutorials in
related areas may include more introductory material.

Proposals should be submitted to the tutorial chair by email as ASCII
text, and should include a description of the goals of the tutorial
and its intended audience, a detailed outline of its contents, and
a brief resume of the presenter(s) including information on expertise
and prior presentations. Additionally, a summary of the tutorial is
needed for advertising purposes (about 100 words).
