ICAPS 2019 Planning & Learning Track

Berkeley, CA  --  July 2019

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaps2019



In 2019, the International Conference on Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) will 
run a Planning and Learning track as part of the main conference. Machine 
learning has impacted all aspects of Artificial Intelligence and Computer 
Science, and planning is no exception. This new track provides an opportunity 
for the AI planning and scheduling community to engage directly with 
developments in the learning community for the benefit of both.



The Planning and Learning track aims to present research at the intersection of 
the fields of machine learning and planning & scheduling. In particular, we are 
interested in work that draws substantially from the objectives, techniques, or 
methodologies of both fields. Topics include, but are not limited to:



*       Reinforcement learning

*       Learning to improve the effectiveness of planning & scheduling systems

*       Learning domain models

*       Planning & scheduling in learned domain models

*       Learning effective heuristics and other forms of control knowledge

*       Planning applied to automating machine learning systems

*       Applications that involve a combination of learning with planning or 
scheduling



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 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.

Authors making multiple submissions must ensure that each submission has 
significant unique content. Papers submitted to ICAPS 2019 may not be submitted 
to other conferences or journals during the ICAPS 2019 review period nor may 
they be already under review or published in other conferences or journals. 
Overlength papers will be rejected without review.



Submission Instructions:



Submission site and instructions announced soon at 
https://icaps19.icaps-conference.org/

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: is 
https://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit19.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.

The proceedings will be published by AAAI Press. All accepted papers will be 
published in the main conference proceedings and will be presented orally at 
the conference (full papers will be allocated more time).
