[PlanetKR] Call for Nominations: ICAPS 2025 Outstanding Dissertation Award

[Ron Petrick]

*Call for Nominations: ICAPS 2025 Outstanding Dissertation Award*

Nomination deadline: March 3, 2025 UTC-12 (AoE)

The ICAPS Awards Committee is requesting nominations of candidate PhD
dissertations for the ICAPS 2025 Outstanding Dissertation Award. This award
honours an exceptional dissertation in any area of automated planning and
scheduling research and will be presented during the ICAPS 2025 conference.
PhD dissertations that were submitted or completed in 2023 or 2024 are
eligible for the award. The recipient will receive a certificate and USD
1000.

The nomination material should include the following:

   - a CV of the candidate with a complete list of publications,
   - a copy of the dissertation or URL from which the dissertation can be
   accessed,
   - a nomination letter by the PhD advisor (which must specify the
   submission/completion date of the dissertation), and
   - two additional recommendation letters.

Please email all nominations, as a ZIP archive of PDF files, to the
following email address: icaps25-awards-committee at googlegroups.com

The two additional recommendation letters may be sent separately to the
above address by the recommenders if desired, or can be included in the ZIP
archive.

Please do not postpone asking recommenders for their letters until the last
minute. This tends to leave them with little time to compose and send the
letters. We urge nominators to request these letters as soon as possible,
since the recommenders may need time to familiarize themselves with the
contents of the dissertation. Nominators are responsible for ensuring that
the letters of recommendation are submitted by the final deadline. The
committee will not solicit missing letters, nor will it review incomplete
nomination packets.

The dissertation should preferably be written in English. However, we
accept dissertations not written in English if they are submitted together
with the following documents that must be written in English: an extended
abstract of the dissertation, a series of papers that cover the key results
of the dissertation, and a document that describes the mapping from the
papers to the chapters of the dissertation. Students who did not win an
award last year can be nominated again if they are still eligible this year.
