[CFP][Deadline Extension] 5th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Path Finding

[Jiaoyang Li]

(Deadline Extension) Call for Paper: 5th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Path Finding

We have received several requests to extend the paper submission deadline, and we have decided to extend the paper submission deadline to Oct 31st anywhere on earth. This new deadline is final and cannot be further extended. We are looking forward to receiving your submission.

  

Part of the 37th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence  (AAAI) 2023

Washington, DC, USA

Workshop URL: http://idm-lab.org/wiki/AAAI23-MAPF/index.php/Main/HomePage

Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) requires computing collision-free paths for multiple agents from their current locations to given destinations in a known environment. Example applications vary from robot coordination to traffic management. In recent years, researchers from artificial intelligence, robotics, and theoretical computer science explore different variants of the MAPF problem as well as various approaches with different properties. The purpose of this workshop is to bring these researchers together to present their research, discuss future research directions, and cross-fertilize the different communities. 

Topics

All works that relate to collision-free path planning or navigation for multiple agents are welcome, including but not limited to:

– Search-, rule-, reduction-, reactive-, and learning-based MAPF planners;

– Combination of MAPF and task allocation, scheduling, and execution monitoring, etc.;

– Real-world applications of MAPF planners;

– Multi-agent reinforcement learning for centralized and decentralized MAPF;

– Customization of MAPF planners for actual robots (e.g. motion and communication constraints, environment changes, etc.);

– Standardization of MAPF terminology and benchmarks.

Submission  Requirements

 

Submissions can contain relevant work in all possible stages, including work that was recently published, is under submission elsewhere, was only recently finished, or is still ongoing.
