The workshop will be held on August 5th, the full schedule is provided below.
Planning is becoming a mature field in terms of base techniques and algorithms to solve goal- oriented tasks. It has been successfully applied to many domains including classical domains such as logistics or mars rovers, or more recently in oil and gas, as well as mining industry. However, very little work has been done in relation to financial institutions problems. Recently, some big financial corporations have started AI research labs and researchers at those teams have found there are plenty of open planning problems to be tackled by the planning community. For example, these include, trading markets, workflow learning, generation and execution, transactions flow understanding, risk management, fraud detection and customer journeys.
The workshop includes - but is not limited to - the following topics:
We invite two kinds of submissions:
Please note that papers submissions should not be anonymous, and will undergo single-blind peer review. Every submission will be reviewed by members of the program committee according to the usual criteria such as relevance to the workshop, significance of the contribution, and technical quality. Submissions should be formatted using the ICAPS style. The final submission must be in PDF. Papers should be submitted on Easychair at: https://www.easychair.org/my/conference?conf=finplan2021
