ICAPS Summer School on Planning and Scheduling
4th - 7th June 2013
Perugia (ITALY)

___________________________
||_______Event Description_____||
The International Summer School on Planning and Scheduling is a well-established
event attracting students in AI from all over the world. This year is the 8th edition
and it will be held in Perugia (Italy), the week immediately before the ICAPS 2013
Conference in Rome. The school is an intense four-day educational and mentoring
program for graduate students and young researchers.
The Summer School offers as usual high level introductory courses to basic research
planning issues and moreover the two special sessions: “Hands-on Planning” and
“P&S for Aerospace Applications”.
The special aim of this year edition is to provide the participants a practical “hands-on”
perspective in order to address a variety of domains where P&S systems represent a
potential solution. The Aerospace area represents a remarkable example of a field where
P&S has been successfully applied and which is a source of basic research issues.
The case-studied and discussion oriented approach of these Special Sessions aims at
increasing the participants ability to recognize and successfully face the practical issues
which arise when modeling, designing and running P&S applications.
Speakers will be high level experts widely acknowledged by the P&S community, which
include the former organizers of ICAPS P&S Competitions for the “Hands-on Planning”
track and leading scientists from NASA, Space Telescope Science Institute, ONERA and
European Space Agency for the “P&S for Aerospace Applications” track.
