=================================================================


The 2nd Workshop on Distributed and Multi-Agent Planning (DMAP) will be
held at the ICAPS 2014 conference in the tradition of the "Multiagent
Planning and Scheduling" workshop series that were held at ICAPS 2005 and
2008, and also as a follow-on to last year's successful first edition of
this workshop, DMAP’13.



TOPICS


The organizing committee of DMAP’14 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. Relevant topics
to the workshop are, among others:


    * Multiagent planning and scheduling applications
    * Techniques to overcome multiagent planning complexity
    * Plan coordination/merging
    * Distributed planning and scheduling
    * Multiagent planning system architectures
    * Multi-robot systems
    * 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’14 is a full-day workshop, organized in technical sessions. Each
presentation will be followed by ample time for questions and general
discussion.


SUBMISSION


Paper submission is in PDF only, formatted in AAAI style (
http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php). Refer to the author
