************************** Call for Papers *********************

The 19th Workshop of the UK PLANNING AND SCHEDULING Special Interest Group
To be held at The Open University, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire (UK)
December 14-15, 2000

http://mcs.open.ac.uk/plansig2000


FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

The new Millennium's first workshop of the UK Planning and Scheduling
Special Interest Group will be held at the Open University campus in Milton
Keynes, UK. The workshop is a yearly forum where academics, industrialists
and research students can meet and discuss current issues in an informal
setting. We especially aim to bring together researchers attacking different
aspects of planning and scheduling problems, and to introduce new
researchers to the community. In recent years the SIG has attracted an
international gathering, and we continue to welcome contributions from
around the world. 


SCOPE

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 

Applications: empirical studies of existing planning/scheduling systems;
domain-specific techniques; heuristic techniques; user interfaces for
planning and scheduling. 

Architectures: real-time support for planning/scheduling/control;
mixed-initiative planning and user interfaces. 

Environmental and task models: analyses of the dynamics of environments,
tasks, and domains with regard to different models of planning and
execution. 

Formal Models: reasoning about knowledge, action, and time; representations
and ontologies for planning and scheduling; search methods and analysis of
algorithms; formal characterisation of existing planners and schedulers. 

Intelligent Agency: resource-bounded reasoning; distributed problem solving;
integrating reaction and deliberation. 

Learning: learning in the context of planning and execution; learning new
plans and operators; learning in the context of scheduling and schedule
maintenance. 

Memory Based Approaches: case-based planning/scheduling; plan and operator
learning and reuse; incremental planning.

Reactive Systems: environmentally driven devices/behaviours; reactive
control; behaviours in the context of minimal representations; schedule
maintenance. 

Robotics: Motion and path planning; planning and control; planning and
perception, integration of planning and perceptual systems.

Constraint-based Planning/Scheduling and Control Techniques:
constraint/preference propagation techniques, variable/value ordering
heuristics, intelligent backtracking/RMS-based techniques, iterative repair
heuristics, etc. 

Coordination Issues in Decentralised/Distributed planning/scheduling:
coordination issues in both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems, system
architecture issues, integration of strategic and tactical decision making. 

Iterative Improvement Techniques for Combinatorial Optimisation: genetic
algorithms, simulated annealing, tabu search, neural nets, etc applied to
scheduling and/or planning. 

Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research: comparative studies and
innovative applications combining AI and OR techniques, applied to
scheduling and/or planning.


SUBMISSIONS 

Format of submissions: 

Full papers: (approx. 5000 words). These should report work in progress or
completed work. Authors of full papers which are accepted by the Programme
Committee will be invited to give a talk on the paper.

Short papers: (2 pages) These should report views or ambitions, or describe
problems. The author(s) will be able to discuss the paper informally with
others at the workshop and may be invited to give a short (poster)
presentation on their work. 

Possible methods of submission:

Hard copy: three hard copies of papers should reach the Programme Chair by
the 17th September, 2000.

Electronic: papers can be submitted via e-mail or made available on the Web.
In both cases, documents should be in gzipped postscript format and be named
"author.ps.gz", using the name of the first author. An e-mail message
containing either the file or its URL (e.g. http://..../author.ps.gz) should
reach the Programme Chair by the 17th September 2000. 

All submissions will be reviewed by two referees, and successful submissions
will appear in the Workshop Proceedings (ISSN 1368-5708). Also, accepted
papers submitted in HTML format will be made available via the SIG web-site.



ATTENDANCE 

Anyone with an interest in Planning and Scheduling is welcome - it is not
necessary to submit a paper in order to attend.


REGISTRATION

The deadline for registration is 13th November 2000 (further details will be
available from http://mcs.open.ac.uk/plansig2000).
