                     Call for Papers

                  Deadline: March 4

Call for Papers

The program committee of The 26th International Conference on Automated 
Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) invites submissions of published journal 
papers for the Journal Presentation Track, successfully initiated in 2013.

The track is designed to provide a forum to discuss important results 
related to automated planning and scheduling that appeared recently 
(from March 2015 onwards) in selective journals, but have not been 
previously presented either at ICAPS or at a major AI conference.

The goal of this track is two-fold:
-  To provide authors an opportunity to present at the conference 
important results published in journals that might otherwise not be 
submitted to the conference due to their length and complexity. Papers 
that differ from traditional ICAPS format and topics are welcome.
-   To broaden the program with lines of work at the intersection 
between planning/scheduling and related fields such as for example 
constraint programming, knowledge representation and reasoning, machine 
learning, multi-agent systems, robotics, computer games, and operations 
research. Papers that use planning and scheduling in some innovative way 
(even if they do not advance the planning technology itself) are welcome.


Paper Presentation

All accepted journal presentations will be presented orally during the 
conference - at least one author is expected to register to ICAPS 2016 
and to present the paper in person. Complete citations, abstracts and 
URLs of the original journal papers (if available from the publisher) 
will be published at ICAPS 2016 web site as a permanent reference.


Submission Requirements

Journal track submissions must meet the following criteria:
-      Candidate papers must be published in a journal such as (but not 
limited to) AIJ, AURO, JAIR, JAAMAS, KER and other relevant, including 
inter-disciplinary, leading  Journals from March 2015 until the 
submission deadline.
-       Papers that are in press may be submitted as long as the final 
camera-ready version is available.
-       Extensions of papers that have been previously presented at 
ICAPS or another major AI conference (such as IJCAI, AAAI, ECAI) cannot 
be submitted to this track.


Submission Process

All submissions will be done via EasyChair 
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=journalsicaps16). The 
submission will be in the following format:

-        title of the original journal paper (to be published at web);
-        complete reference of the original paper (to be published at web);
-        URL, where the paper can be downloaded from the publisher (if 
available) (to be published at web);
-        abstract of the paper (to be published at web);
-        an accompanying letter containing a brief summary of the key 
results and contributions and explanation why this paper is interesting 
to ICAPS community (in PDF);
-        a copy of the paper with its final camera-ready contents (in PDF).

Submissions will go through an expedited selection process. Selection 
criteria include significance of the results, relevance to the planning 
and scheduling community, and contribution to diversification of 
traditional ICAPS topics.


Important Dates
     Submission deadline: March 4, 2016
