[Apologies if you receive this CFP multiple times] ================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Distributed and Multi-Agent Planning, ICAPS 2014 Portsmouth, USA June 22-23, 2014 WEB: http://icaps14.icaps-conference.org/workshops_tutorials/dmap.html PDF: http://home.mit.bme.hu/~dkovacs/CFP_ICAPS-DMAP-2014_final.pdf ================================================================= The 2nd Workshop on Distributed and Multi-Agent Planning (DMAP) will be held at the ICAPS 2014 conference in the tradition of the "Multiagent Planning and Scheduling" workshop series that were held at ICAPS 2005 and 2008, and also as a follow-on to last year's successful first edition of this workshop, DMAP’13. TOPICS The organizing committee of DMAP’14 invites paper submissions on topics related to distributed and multi-agent planning. Multiagent planning is a broad field with many applications, but its subfields remain mostly dispersed and uncoordinated. The main goal of the workshop is to bring researchers working in these subfields together and to bridge the gap between the planning and multi-agent systems communities. Relevant topics to the workshop are, among others: * Multiagent planning and scheduling applications * Techniques to overcome multiagent planning complexity * Plan coordination/merging * Distributed planning and scheduling * Multiagent planning system architectures * Multi-robot systems * Self-interested planning agents * Game theoretic planning * Distributed planning under uncertainty * Privacy in distributed planning * Evaluation and benchmarks for distributed planning * Centralized, decentralized and factored multiagent planning * Multiagent planning problem modeling techniques and languages * Domain-dependent and domain-independent multiagent planning FORMAT DMAP’14 is a full-day workshop, organized in technical sessions. Each presentation will be followed by ample time for questions and general discussion. SUBMISSION Paper submission is in PDF only, formatted in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php). Refer to the author instructions on the AAAI web site for detailed formatting instructions and LaTeX style files. Final papers will be in the same format, keep them to at most 8+1 pages long (meaning 8 pages plus 1 extra page containing only references). We also welcome the submission of short position papers (at most 4+1 pages long). Papers must be submitted by March 7th, 2014. All deadlines refer to 23:59 in the UTC-12 time zone. Paper submissions should be made through the workshop EasyChair web site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dmap2014 IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission: March 7th, 2014 * Notification of acceptance: March 20th, 2014 * Camera-ready paper submission: April 17th, 2014 * Workshop date: June 22-23rd, 2014 (TBA) ORGANIZING COMMITTEE * Daniel Borrajo – Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain * Daniel L.
