Special Track on AI PLANNING AND SCHEDULING at FLAIRS-22: 22nd International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference http://ktiml.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/FLAIRS2009/ Sanibel Island, Florida, USA 19th-21st May 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Planning belongs to fundamental subjects of Artificial Intelligence since its beginning and sessions on planning are an integral part of major AI conferences. Via generating activities necessary to achieve some goal, planning is also closely related to scheduling that deals with allocation of activities to scarce resources. Though planning and scheduling communities are somehow separated, both areas interact more and more in recent years especially when dealing with real-life problems. The FLAIRS 2009 conference special track on AI Planning and Scheduling attracts papers from all areas of AI planning and scheduling. Papers bridging both areas and application papers are especially welcome. Pure scheduling (timetabling) papers that use AI techniques such as constraint satisfaction or integrate with planning are also eligible. Topics include: * Applications and case studies from planning and scheduling * Methodologies and tools for specification, design, implementation, and validation of planning and scheduling systems * Constrained-based planning and scheduling * Search for planning and scheduling * Distributed and multi-agent planning and scheduling * Knowledge engineering techniques for planning and scheduling * Planning with resources and time constraints * Hierarchical task network planning * Dynamic scheduling * Mixed-initiative planning and scheduling * Plan and schedule execution, monitoring and repair * Planning and scheduling under uncertainty * Anytime and real-time planning and scheduling Publication and Paper Submission: Submitted papers must be original, and not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings which will be published by AAAI Press. Authors can submit full papers (up to 6 pages) or poster papers (up to 2 pages). All papers must be formatted according to the AAAI guidelines. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers, to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted in PDF format through the FLAIRS-22 online submission system. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. An author of each accepted paper is required to register and attend FLAIRS, and present the paper.
