[apologies for multiple copies] ================================================= Call for REMOTE PARTICIPATION The 24th International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling ICAPS-2014 icaps14.icaps-conference.org June 21-26, 2014 Special tracks: Robotics Novel Applications Journal Paper Presentations ================================================= ICAPS 2014 is pleased to announce a call for Remote Participation. For the first time, telepresense robots will be present at ICAPS. ICAPS 2014 is part of the ICAPS conference series: the premier forum for exchanging news and research results on theory and applications of intelligent planning and scheduling technology. We plan to provide two BEAM telepresence robots for remotely attending ICAPS'14. The two robots will be available for the following events: - Invited talks - All main conference sessions inclusive of the subsequent breaks - Tutorials (entire tutorial) - Workshops (entire workshop) - Lunch breaks - Poster and Demo session - IPC Results presentation - Community meeting No cost will be associated with the use of the robots. However, as we have only two robots, we ask people to be as fair as possible and express a real interest in each slot they indicate during the registration process. Please register interest by June 12 at http://icaps14.icaps-conference.org/telepresence.html In addition to the telepresense robots, all main conference talks and tutorials will be recorded. They will be made accessible through the ICAPS'14 webpage as soon as possible. If software and bandwidth permit, we will also provide live-streaming of the talks.
