CALL FOR PAPERS : The 2nd Multidisciplinary International Conference on
Scheduling : Theory and Applications (MISTA 2005), New York, 2005
http://www.mistaconference.org/
This conference is the second in a series of conferences (the first took
place in Nottingham, UK in August 2003) that serves as a forum for an
international community of researchers, practitioners and vendors on all
aspects of multi-disciplinary scheduling. The conference will cover, but
not be limited to, the following disciplines:
* Artificial Intelligence
* Computer Science
* Engineering
* Management
* Manufacturing
* Mathematics
* Operational Research
The aim is to bring together scheduling researchers and practitioners
from all the disciplines that engage with scheduling research.
The scope of the conference includes (but is not limited to):
* Agent Based Scheduling
* Commercial Packages
* Automated Reasoning
* Timetabling
* Constraint Logic Programming
* Evolutionary Algorithms
* Rostering
* Knowledge-Based Systems
* Heuristic Search
* Real-Time Scheduling
* Local Search
* Shop-Floor Scheduling
* Multi-processor Scheduling
* Transport Scheduling
* Process Scheduling
* Complexity of Scheduling Problems
* Rule-Based Expert Systems
* Real World Scheduling
* Large Scale Scheduling
* Sports Scheduling
* Production Scheduling
* Vehicle Routing
* Machine Scheduling
* Meta-heuristic Search
* Batch Scheduling
* Theoretical Scheduling
* Applications
* Delivery Scheduling
Submitting to MISTA
===============
Authors are invited to submit papers in one of two categories:
(a) Full Papers
Authors should submit papers describing significant, original and
unpublished work. Accepted papers will be published in the conference
proceedings.
The authors of accepted papers will have the opportunity to submit their
papers to a second round of refereeing so that their papers can be
considered for a post-conference volume to be published by Kluwer. This
can either be the same paper as was submitted to the conference or an
updated version in the light of comments received or new work undertaken.
Papers should be formatted using Kluwer guidelines.
(b) Abstracts
Authors can submit abstracts of up to 2 pages (formatted in the same way
as for the full papers). Abstracts will be fully refereed. The abstracts
will not go forward to the second round of refereeing for the
post-conference volume. However, authors of accepted abstracts will have
the opportunity to write a paper (based on their abstract) and submit it
for the selected papers volume at a later date (shortly after the
conference). People who wish to give a talk (e.g. practitioners,
researchers with incomplete work) but do not want to write an academic
paper can submit under this category. Accepted abstracts will be
published in the conference proceedings.
Please note, there is no page limit. We do not want you to have to limit
your work to fit in with some arbitrary page limit. However, the
reviewers will be asked to comment on the papers quality, which will
include if it seems overly long for what it is trying to say.
All submissions should include a cover page which clearly states:
* The title of the paper
* Names, affiliations and EMAIL addresses of the authors
* Who is the corresponding author
* Keywords (chosen from the above list, where possible)
* The category of submission (full paper or abstract)
We will have an electronic submission and review process for this
conference. More details will be available soon.
