CALL FOR PAPERS
1st ICAPS Workshop on Models and Paradigms for Planning Under Uncertainty
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA, June 22-23, 2014
====================================================================
Great strides have been made in automated AI planning under uncertainty in
recent years, including symbolic and compact representations of planning
problems and very efficient techniques for solving them. The effectiveness of
these methods has been demonstrated in the past International Planning
Competitions, and, to some extent, in real-world applications such as
navigation tasks, space operations, railway control, and rescue/evacuation
tasks.
However, there are several remaining challenges for developing uncertainty
models for the planning systems. When deployed in the real world, these systems
often face a constantly changing environment, whose evolution is not
deterministic. In addition to the environmental dynamics, planning systems must
also deal with the partial knowledge about their surroundings, their models of
the environment, and their goals in that environment. Addressing all these
aspects successfully may require a range of modeling tools from precise and
imprecise probabilities to fuzzy and possibilistic logic.
The aim of this workshop is to discuss various models and paradigms for
planning under uncertainty in a broad sense, including but also going beyond
the traditional probabilistic planning paradigms.
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
• probabilistic or possibilistic (partially observable) Markov Decision
Processes
• non-probabilistic uncertainty models for planning and algorithms
• conformant planning
• imprecise probability models and planning
• fuzzy and possibilistic logic
• planning/replanning with deterministic planners
• determinization-based approaches
• modeling imperfect actuators and/or sensors and controller synthesis
• belief-desire-intention (BDI) models, Dempster-Shafer theory
• default reasoning and belief revision models
• qualitative uncertainty models (e.g., Qualitative-Process (QP)
theory, qualitative probability models)
• learning uncertainty models for planning
==================
Submission Procedure:
==================
Paper submissions are accepted in PDF only. Please format submissions in AAAI
style. Refer to the author instructions on the AAAI web site for detailed
formatting instructions and LaTeX style files. Papers can be submitted in one
of two categories:
• Full papers: 8+1 pages long (i.e., 8 pages of content and 1 extra
page only for references)
• Short papers: 4+1 pages long
Papers must be submitted by March 7th, 2014. All ICAPS deadlines refer to 23:59
in the UTC-12 time zone (i.e., if the deadline has not yet passed at some place
in the world, you are on time.)
Paper submissions should be made through the workshop EasyChair web site
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mppu14.
