12th International Scheduling and Planning Applications Workshop (SPARK)

Collocated with ICAPS 2019 - Berkeley, USA - July 2019

https://icaps19.icaps-conference.org/workshops/SPARK/index.html


OVERVIEW

Application domains that contain planning and scheduling (P&S) problems
present a set of interesting challenges to the AI planning and
scheduling community -- from modelling to technical to institutional
issues. New real-world domains and problems are becoming increasingly
affordable for AI and P&S techniques. The international Scheduling and
Planning Applications woRKshop (SPARK) series was established to foster
the practical application of advances made in the AI P&S community.

TOPICS

Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

Novel domains and benchmark or challenge problems
Experiences in deploying P&S systems, from their conception to their
maturity in practice
Comparison with previously existing technologies and/or systems
Integration of operational knowledge from existing legacy components
Integration of multiple sources of knowledge and reasoning schemes
(actions, time, resources)
Modelling and domain model acquisition
Handling dynamic and uncertain sources of knowledge
Algorithmic and technological issues
Plan execution and replanning
Mixed initiative approaches
User interface design, visualization and explanation
Machine learning methodologies applied to P&S systems
Engineering, deployment, and maintenance
Evaluation, testing, and validation
Assessment of impact on end users

Accepted papers will be presented in plenary or poster sessions during
the workshop day. Each presented paper will receive comments from a
designated moderator, in order to start the discussion at the workshop.
