Author Guidelines
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. All papers, regardless of length, will be reviewed
against the standard criteria of relevance, originality,
significance, clarity, soundness, and are expected to meet the same
high standards set by ICAPS. Short papers may be of narrower scope,
for example by addressing a highly specific issue, or proposing or
evaluating a small, yet important, extension of previous work or new
idea. Overlength papers will be rejected without review.
Authors making multiple submissions must ensure that each submission
has significant unique content. Papers submitted to ICAPS 2020 may
not be submitted to other conferences or journals during the ICAPS
2020 review period nor may they be already under review or published
in other conferences or journals.
We will have an arrangement with ECAI 2020, through which selected
papers reviewed by the ICAPS 2020 program committee, instead of
being simply rejected, will be transferred (together with their
reviews) to the ECAI 2020 program committee for consideration as
ECAI2020 submissions, and vice versa. Author’s permission for this
transfer will be asked in the submission form.
As the ICAPS 2020 notification date falls between the IJCAI 2020
abstract and full paper submission dates, ICAPS allows abstract
submission to IJCAI with the expectation that papers accepted to
ICAPS will be withdrawn from IJCAI. [Authors are responsible for
knowing and following the appropriate IJCAI rules.]
Submission Instructions
All submissions will be made electronically, through the EasyChair
conference system:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaps2020
Submitted PDF papers should be anonymous for double-blind reviewing,
adhere to the page limits of the relevant track CFP/submission type
(long or short), and follow the AAAI author kit instructions for
formatting:
https://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit20.zip
In addition to the submitted PDF paper, authors can submit
supplementary material (videos, technical proofs, additional
experimental results) for their paper. Please make sure that the
supporting material is also anonymized. Papers should be
self-contained; reviewers are encouraged, but not obligated, to
consider supporting material in their decision.
