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

[Jiaoyang Li]

Call for Paper: 5th International Workshop on Multi-Agent Path Finding

 

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.
