June 25th or 26th 2012, Atibaia, Sao Paulo Brazil
(affiliated with ICAPS 2012)

Important dates :
----------------------
• Submission deadline : February 17th, 2012
• Notification : March 16th, 2012
• Camera ready : April 8th, 2012
Scope :
----------
Early approaches to robot control were based on the Sense-Plan-Act (SPA)
paradigm with planning as the core of a control-loop. Using this paradigm,
real-world applications merging deliberative and reactive decision have made
remarkable strides in the last few years. These
systems have evolved from the classical concept of three-layered control
running off-board, to demonstrate dynamic control of a multitude of platforms
using onboard and hybrid mixed-initiative techniques. In the meantime,
automated planning techniques have evolved substantially in the areas of
modeling, reasoning methods, and search algorithms. Together these advances
open up new possibilities for how planning technology can be applied in
execution, but also reveal new concerns like the interaction between different
decisional components or the possible conflict between decision and
environmental reality. The goal of this workshop is to integrate practical
experience in fieldedautonomous systems with theoretical and empirical results
in automated planning to stimulate new perspectives on the roles and
requirements for planning in execution.
The workshop seeks contributions in two key areas. The first is focused on
applications of planning in execution dealing with architectural or modeling
choices to deal with the dynamic real-world environment. Papers should indicate
how the system impacts all stages of application development and deployment.
Contributions in this area should elaborate on the rationale underpinning the
design and the performance of the resulting system in the field. The second key
area is focused on theoretical and empirical results for specific automated
planning techniques for on-line use in dynamic and uncertain environments.
Contributions in this area should address how and why the methods described
might be incorporated into a larger application context.
We encourage submissions in the following domains:
• Planning and Execution in Agent Architectures
• Plan representation and the impact of solving real-world problems
• Semantics of plan execution and their impact to dealing with
uncertainty (temporal, spatial and geometric)
• Decision-theoretic approaches to mission planning and execution
• Bounded (time and space) search techniques which deal with
environment uncertainty for plan execution
• Distributed/collaborative planning and execution (in a multi-system
environment).
• Planning, Scheduling and Execution in unstructured, unknown or
hostile condition.
• The role of mixed-initiative planning/execution systems
Submission process :
-----------------------------
We accept submission on the topics listed above and more generally when the
topics strongly relates to planning actions and executeds them in a situated
environment. A paper can be up to 8 pages or up to 4 for presenting some
preleminary work.
Authors should prepare their manuscript according to AAAI formatting guidelines
and style. Papers should be submitted by email in PDF format to
pla...@mbari.org
