 | Call for Participation: CPPS-05
Workshop on Constraint Programming for Planning and Scheduling
http://www.mie.utoronto.ca/labs/tidel/cpps05/
To be held alongside
ICAPS-05
International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling
June 5th-10th 2005, Monterey, California
Constraint programming is a powerful technology for expressing and reasoning
about real-world planning and scheduling problems. It permits a wide range
of complex constraints, such as resource constraints, temporal constraints
and sequencing constraints, to be compactly specified and efficiently reasoned
about. The effective solution of planning and scheduling problems using
constraint programming requires the use of ideas from a wide range of areas
from AI and OR (including knowledge representation, temporal reasoning,
reasoning under uncertainty, constraint relaxation and decomposition
techniques). The aim of this workshop is to foster the introduction of more
ideas from these and other areas.
We welcome submissions on constraint programming approaches to planning and
scheduling problems, including theoretical, experimental and applied work.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
o Global Constraints
o Hybrid Methods
o New Applications / Deployed Applications
o Local Search
o Heuristic Search Techniques
o Scheduling v Planning
o Scheduling + Planning
o Sensitivity Analysis
o Solution Robustness
o Uncertain & Dynamic Problems
o Optimization & Multiple Objectives
o Preferences
o Mixed-Initiative Planning & Scheduling
o Distributed/multi-agent Planning & Scheduling
o Spatial, Temporal, and/or Resource Constraints
The workshop will be one full day. The exact format of the workshop will be
determined by the response to the call for participation. In addition to
technical presentations based on accepted papers, it is likely the workshop
will include an invited talk, a panel, and moderated discussion sessions.
Papers must be prepared according to the AAAI style template and must be no
more than eight (8) pages long, including figures and bibliography. Papers
must be in PDF format and should be submitted via email to Chris Beck
(JCB at MIE dot UTORONTO dot CA) no later than January 24, 2005.
Authors of papers at the workshop will be invited to submit to a special
issue of AI Communications. A second round of reviewing will determine the
contents of the special issue.
