*Topics and Objectives
*

The organizing committee of DMAP 13 invites paper submissions on topics
related to distributed and multi-agent planning. Multiagent planning is a
broad field with many applications, but its subfields remain mostly
dispersed and uncoordinated. The main goal of the workshop is to bring
researchers working in these subfields together and to bridge the gap
between the planning and multi-agent systems communities. The focus of the
workshop program is on:

	* Multiagent planning and scheduling applications
	* Techniques to overcome multiagent planning complexity
	* Plan coordination/merging
	* Distributed planning and scheduling
	* Multiagent planning system architectures
	* Self-interested planning agents
	* Game theoretic planning
	* Distributed planning under uncertainty
	* Privacy in distributed planning
	* Evaluation and benchmarks for distributed planning
	* Centralized, decentralized and factored multiagent planning
	* Multiagent planning problem modeling techniques and languages
	* Domain-dependent and domain-independent multiagent planning


*Format*

DMAP-13 is a three-quarter day workshop, organized in technical
sessions. Each presentation will be followed by ample time for
questions, discussions.
