Abstracts due: November 18, 2015
Papers due:    November 22, 2015
Notification:  January  26, 2016

In 2016 ICAPS will run a robotics track as part of the main conference. 
Following on from successful events in 2014 and 2015, this will again 
emphasize the importance and opportunities of reuniting the fields of AI 
planning and (autonomous) robotics. This provides an opportunity for the 
AI planning and scheduling community to respond to the challenges that 
robotics applications pose and contribute to the advance of intelligent 
robotics. This is also an opportunity for the robotics community to 
propose integrated solutions, discuss its challenges related to planning 
for autonomous robots (deliberative, reactive, continuous planning and 
execution etc.) and present its expectations of the planning and 
scheduling community.

In this regard, the robotics track aims to present research at the 
intersection of the fields of robotics and planning & scheduling. We 
welcome work on the planning, execution and coordination of individual 
or teams of robots, at the level of tasks, (manipulation) actions, 
perception, behaviors and motions. Submission of work that has been 
demonstrated on actual robot systems is specifically encouraged. Topics 
include, but are not limited to:

     robot motion, path, task and mission planning and execution;
     learning action and task models;
     acquisition of planning models for robotics;
     failure detection and recovery;
     integrated planning and execution in robotic architectures;
     planning for long-term autonomy in robotics;
     planning and coordination methods for multiple robots;
     mixed-initiative planning and variable autonomy for robotic systems;
     human-aware planning and execution in human-robot interaction, 
including safety;
     adversarial action planning in competitive robotic domains;
     planning for perception;
     formal methods for robot planning and control;
     planning domain representations for robotics applications;
     benchmark planning domains for robots;
     real-world planning applications for autonomous robots.


Author Guidelines
-----------------

Authors may submit long papers (8 pages 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. For more 
information, see: http://icaps16.icaps-conference.org

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 2016 may not be 
submitted to other conferences or journals during the ICAPS 2016 review 
period nor may they be already under review or published in other 
conferences or journals. Overlength papers will be rejected without review.


All submissions will be made electronically, through the EasyChair 
conference system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaps16
Submissions must be in the AAAI format. For more information, see the 
submission instructions on ICAPS 2016 submission page.

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).


Important Dates
---------------

Abstracts (electronic submission) due: November 18th, 2015
Papers (electronic submission) due:    November 22nd, 2015

The reference timezone for all deadlines is UTC-12. That is, as long as 
there is still some place anywhere in the world where the deadline has 
not yet passed, you are on time!
