CALL FOR PAPERS
Following the success of the Special Track on Novel Applications at previous
ICAPS conferences, ICAPS 2017 will host again a Novel Applications Track.
ICAPS 2017, the 26th International Conference on Automated Planning and
Scheduling, will take place in Pittsburgh, USA, 18-23 June 2017. ICAPS 2017 is
part of the ICAPS conference series, the premier forum for exchanging news and
research results on theory and applications of intelligent planning and
scheduling technology.
The goal of this special track is to encourage the submission of papers
describing all aspects of the development, deployment and evaluation of planning
and scheduling systems for real-world problems. Topics addressed in
applications papers may include, but are not limited to:
* Description and modelling of novel application domains
* Engineering issues in using P&S techniques
* Integration of multiple P&S techniques, or of P&S techniques with
techniques from other areas or disciplines
* User interface design, visualization and explanation for a P&S application
* Experiences in development, deployment and maintenance of P&S applications
* Evaluation, testing, and validation of P&S applications
* Assessment of impact on end users
In order to ensure that papers are reviewed fairly, the track has a separate
programme committee consisting of individuals with experience working on
applications of Planning and Scheduling technology to real world problems.
Papers submitted to this track will be evaluated using different criteria,
particularly:
* Significance of the application problem being addressed
* Importance of P&S technology to solution of the problem
* Novelty of the application and technical approach to the application
* Evaluation of the system and its deployment
* Clarity of the descriptions of the application problem, techniques used,
and results
* Applicability to real-world problems such as by dataset complexity and
actual use in practice
DEADLINES
18 November 2016 - Abstracts (electronic submission) due
22 November 2016 - Papers (electronic submission, PDF) due
26 January 2017 - Notification of acceptance
The reference timezone for all deadlines is UTC-12. That is, as long as there
is still some place anywhere in the world where the deadline has not yet passed,
you are on time.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Authors may submit long papers (8 pages AAAI style plus up to one page of
references) or short papers (4 pages plus up to one page of references). The
type of paper must be indicated at submission time. For more information, see
icaps17.icaps-conference.org.
All papers, regardless of length, will be reviewed against the standard criteria
of relevance, originality, significance, clarity and soundness, and are expected
to meet the same high standards set by ICAPS. Full technical papers are
expected to report on a significant applications effort, emerging or deployed,
while short papers may report on more limited aspects of a particular
application, approach or study.
Authors making multiple submissions must ensure that each submission has
significant unique content. Papers submitted to ICAPS'17 may not be submitted
to other conferences or journals during the ICAPS'17 review period nor may they
be already under review or published in other conferences or journals.
Overlength papers will be rejected without review.
All submissions will be made electronically, through the EasyChair conference
system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaps2017
