[Event at CIG] CFP special track of KR 2025 on Knowledge Representation & Reasoning in Planning & Scheduling

[Alechina, Natasha]

Call For Papers:  Knowledge Representation & Reasoning in Planning & Scheduling

The track on Knowledge Representation & Reasoning in Planning & Scheduling emphasizes the synergistic interactions between the two areas, and welcomes contributions that extend the state of the art at their intersection.

Expected Contributions

We welcome papers that investigate the synergy between knowledge representation and reasoning formalisms and methods, and planning languages and methods, such as (but not limited to):

- knowledge representation languages for non-classical planning
- relations between action languages and planning languages
- representation of actions and change, background knowledge, and planning heuristics
- automated reformulations/revisions of action domain descriptions
- reasoning for plan computation, synthesis, analysis, verification, reuse and repairs
- orchestration of planning with other reasoning methods for plan execution monitoring

ICAPS Resubmissions

For resubmissions of ICAPS papers we ask the authors to provide the original submission, ICAPS reviews and, optionally, a summary of changes (all as one .zip). The reviewers will only see the ICAPS reviews after they submit their own.

Submission Guidelines and Evaluation Criteria

Submissions must be anonymous and will be subject to double-blind peer review. Contributions may be regular papers (up to 9 pages) or short papers (up to 4 pages), including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding references and acknowledgements. Papers must be written in English and formatted using the style files provided here.

Submissions will be rigorously peer reviewed by PC members on the basis of the overall quality of their technical contribution, with special attention to the suitability of submissions in terms of the scope of the KR&R in P&S Track. Authors are recommended to make, as applicable, any relevant data and implementation code available to allow other researchers to reproduce the reported results.

Accepted papers will be published in the KR 2025 proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to participate in the conference and present the work.

Papers must be submitted through the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kr2025. Please select the respective track.


Selection Process

The submissions will be selected based on the excellent scientific quality, potential impact, correctness, novelty, originality, significance of results, clarity, and quality of the presentation.

Additionally, track-relevant criteria will be considered, including impact, novelty and relevance to both areas.
