ICAPS 2013 JOURNAL PRESENTATION TRACK

CALL FOR PAPERS

http://icaps13.istc.cnr.it

The 23rd International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling, ICAPS 2013, 
will take place in Rome, Italy, June 10-14, 2013.  The program committee of ICAPS 2013 
invites submissions of published journal papers for the newly created Journal Presentation 
Track.  The track is designed to provide a forum to discuss important results in the area of 
automated planning and scheduling that appeared recently in selective journals, but have 
not been previously presented at a major AI conference.  Authors of accepted papers will 
be invited to give an oral presentation at the conference and contribute an extended 
abstract to the conference proceedings.  The goal of this track is two-fold: (1) to provide 
authors an opportunity to present at the conference important results published in journals 
that might otherwise not be submitted to the conference due to their length and complexity, 
and (2) to broaden the program with lines of work at the intersection between planning/
scheduling and related fields such as constraint programming, knowledge representation 
and reasoning, machine learning, multi-agent systems, robotics, and operations research.


SCOPE

The scope of ICAPS includes:

    o  Analytic and empirical studies of planning and scheduling problems and algorithms 
    o  Analysis of deployed applications of automated planning and scheduling technologies 
    o  Techniques that extend the scope and complexity of problems that can be solved
    o  Analytic and implemented tools for supporting automated planning and scheduling.


SUBMISSION

Submissions requirements for the journal presentation track:

    o  Candidate papers must be published in a leading journal such as (but not limited to) 
        AIJ and JAIR within the 12 month period prior to the submission deadline.  Papers that
        are in press may be submitted as long as the final camera-ready version is available.  
        Extensions of papers that have been previously presented at ICAPS or another major 
        AI conference cannot be submitted to this track.


    o  Submissions should include: (1) a complete citation for the published paper, 
        (2) a copy of the paper with its final camera-ready contents, (3) a brief summary of the
        key results and contributions, and (4) a statement explaining what parts of the paper 
        have been previously presented at any major AI conference.

    o  Submissions or questions should be sent via email to the organizer of the Journal 
        Presentation Track: Shlomo Zilberstein <shlomo at cs.umass.edu>.

    o  Submissions will go through an expedited selection process.  Selection criteria include 
        significance of the results, relevance to the planning and scheduling community, and 
        how well the work fits the objectives of the track.


IMPORTANT DATES

    o  Submission deadline: February 15, 2013
    o  Notification of acceptance: March 10, 2013
