Call for Papers: Novel Applications Track
Following the success of the Novel Applications track in
previous iterations of the conference, ICAPS 2021 will once
again host this track.
ICAPS 2021, the 31st International Conference on Automated
Planning and Scheduling, will take place in Guangzhou, China.
ICAPS 2021 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 (P&S)
systems for real-world problems. Topics addressed in
applications papers may include, but are not limited to:
* Assessment of impact on end users
* Description and modeling of novel application domains
* Engineering issues in using planning and scheduling
techniques
* Evaluation, testing, and validation of planning and
scheduling applications
* Experiences in development, deployment, and maintenance of
planning and scheduling applications
* Industry / application challenge problems
* Integration of multiple planning and scheduling techniques,
or of planning and scheduling techniques with techniques from
other areas or disciplines
* User interface design, visualization, and explanation for a
planning and scheduling application
This track will have a separate programme committee (PC)
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 criteria that differs from the main track;
specifically:
* Significance of the application problem being addressed
* Importance of planning and scheduling 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
11 December 2020 - Abstracts due
18 December 2020 - Papers (PDF) due
16 February 2021 - Notification of acceptance
The reference timezone for all deadlines is UTC-12 (AoE time).
That is, as long as there is still some place Anywhere on
Earth where the deadline has not yet passed, you are on time.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Authors may submit long papers (8 pages in 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
https://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit21.zip.
All papers, regardless of length, will be reviewed against the
criteria stated above, and are expected to meet the high
standards set by ICAPS. Full technical papers are expected to
report on a significant application effort, emerging or
deployed; while short papers may report on more limited
aspects of a particular application, approach, or study.
Over-length papers will be rejected without review.
Authors making multiple submissions must ensure that each
submission has significant unique content. Papers submitted to
ICAPS 2021 may not be submitted to other conferences or
journals during the ICAPS 2021 review period, nor may they be
already under review or published in other conferences or
journals. Submissions may appear in non-referred or
non-archival venues such as arXiv or a workshop without
archival proceedings.
All submissions will be made electronically, through the
EasyChair conference system:
