2023, the 33rd International Conference on Automated Planning and
Scheduling will take place in Prague, July 8-13, 2023. ICAPS 2023 will
be part of the ICAPS conference series, the premier forum for exchanging
news and research results on the theory and applications of intelligent
planning and scheduling technology.
ICAPS 2023 will feature 4 different tracks:
Main TrackIndustry and Application TrackPlanning and Learning TrackRobotics Track Additionally,
the ICAPS program will include a journal track, demonstrations,
workshops, and tutorials, each having separate submission and
notification dates, to be announced separately.
The ICAPS 2023
program committee invites paper submissions related to automated
planning and scheduling. Relevant contributions include but are not
limited to:
- Theoretical foundations of planning and scheduling
- Classical planning techniques and analysis
- Knowledge representation for planning and scheduling
- Planning with time and resources
- Plan and schedule execution, monitoring, and repair
- Continual, online, and real-time planning and scheduling
- Plan recognition, plan management, and goal reasoning
- Uncertainty and stochasticity in planning and scheduling
- Partially observable and unobservable domains
- Conformant, contingent, and adversarial planning
- Multi-agent and distributed planning
- Planning and scheduling with continuous state and action spaces
- Planning and scheduling with mixed continuous and discrete states/actions/decisions
- Robot planning and scheduling (see also the special track)
- Knowledge acquisition and engineering for planning and scheduling
- Applications and case studies of planning and scheduling techniques (see also the special track)
- Learning for planning and scheduling (see also special the track)
- Human-aware planning and scheduling
Author GuidelinesAuthors may submit technical papers or position papers.
Technical
papers are expected to report on substantial original research, while
position papers are expected to discuss ideas and concepts, for
instance, via thoughtful critiques or bold new perspectives of the
field, historical perspectives and analysis, or technical discussions of
various implementation techniques.
Both technical and position
papers can be long (8 pages AAAI style plus up to one page of
references) or short (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, and 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. 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 2023 may not be submitted to other conferences or journals during
the ICAPS 2023 review period nor may they be already under review,
accepted, or published in other conferences or journals.
Best paper fast-track to top AI journalsFollowing
the ICAPS tradition, in ICAPS 2023 we will give the best paper and best
student paper awards. These papers will also receive an invitation to
submit an extended version to either the Journal of Artificial
Intelligence Research (JAIR) or the Artificial Intelligence Journal
(AIJ).
Ethical/Societal ImpactIt is optional for
authors to include a statement of the potential broader impact of their
work, including its ethical aspects and future societal consequences.
This statement can be included in either the main body pages or the
reference page. If such a statement is not included in the paper but the
reviewers deem that such a statement is necessary, then the authors
will be asked to provide one during the author response period for
review. If the paper is accepted, the statement provided will need to be
incorporated in the camera-ready version.
Submission InstructionsAll
submissions will be made electronically, through the EasyChair
conference system (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaps23).
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/AuthorKit23.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 decisions.
Important DatesWe have arranged our schedule to allow for the revision and resubmission of papers rejected from AAAI 2023.
- November 25, 2022 - Abstracts due (electronic submission)
- November 30, 2022 - Full papers due (electronic submission, PDF)
- January 16-19, 2023 - Author feedback period
- February 4, 2023 - Notification of acceptance or rejection
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!
