<br>
ICAPS 2023, the 33rd International Conference on Automated Planning
and Scheduling, will take place in Prague, July 8-13, 2023. ICAPS
2023 will be part of the ICAPS conference series, the premier forum
for exchanging news and research results on the theory and
applications of intelligent planning and scheduling technology.<br>
<br>
ICAPS 2023 will feature 4 different tracks: <br>
<br>
- <a href="https://icaps23.icaps-conference.org/calls/main_track"
moz-do-not-send="true">Main Track</a><br>
- <a
href="https://icaps23.icaps-conference.org/calls/application_track"
moz-do-not-send="true">Industry and Application Track</a><br>
- <a
href="https://icaps23.icaps-conference.org/calls/learning_track"
moz-do-not-send="true">Planning and Learning Track</a><br>
- <a
href="https://icaps23.icaps-conference.org/calls/robotics_track"
moz-do-not-send="true">Robotics Track</a><br>
<br>
Additionally, the ICAPS program will include a journal track,
demonstrations, workshops, and tutorials, each having separate
submission and notification dates, to be announced separately.<br>
<br>
The ICAPS 2023 program committee invites paper submissions related

- Planning with time and resources<br>
- Plan and schedule execution, monitoring, and repair<br>
- Continual, on-line, and real-time planning and scheduling<br>
- Plan recognition, plan management, and goal reasoning<br>
- Uncertainty and stochasticity in planning and scheduling<br>
- Partially observable and unobservable domains<br>
- Conformant, contingent, and adversarial planning<br>
- Multi-agent and distributed planning<br>
- Planning and scheduling with continuous state and action spaces<br>
- Planning and scheduling with mixed continuous and discrete
states/actions/decisions<br>
- Robot planning and scheduling (see also the special track)<br>
- Knowledge acquisition and engineering for planning and scheduling<br>
- Applications and case studies of planning and scheduling
techniques (see also the special track)<br>
- Learning for planning and scheduling (see also special the track)<br>
- Human-aware planning and scheduling<br>

<font size="4"><b>Author Guidelines</b></font><br>
<br>
<div>Authors may submit technical papers or position papers. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Technical papers are expected to report on substantial original
research, while position papers are expected to discuss ideas and
concepts, for instance, via thoughtful critiques or bold new
perspectives of the field, historical perspectives and analysis,
or technical discussions of various implementation techniques. </div>
<br>
Both <b>technical and position papers</b> can be <b>long</b> (<u>8
pages AAAI style plus up to one page of references</u>) or <b>short</b>
(<u>4 pages plus up to one page of references</u>). <br>
<br>
<div>The type of paper must be indicated at submission time. All
papers, regardless of length, will be reviewed against the
standard criteria of relevance, originality, significance,
clarity, soundness, and are expected to meet the same high
standards set by ICAPS. Short papers may be of narrower scope, for
example by addressing a highly specific issue, or proposing or
evaluating a small, yet important, extension of previous work or
new idea. Over length papers will be rejected without review.</div>
<br>
Authors making multiple submissions must ensure that each submission
has significant unique content. Papers submitted to ICAPS 2023 may
not be submitted to other conferences or journals during the ICAPS
2023 review period nor may they be already under review, accepted,
or published in other conferences or journals.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<font size="4"><b>Best paper fast-track to top AI journals</b></font><br>
<br>
Following the ICAPS tradition, in ICAPS 2023 we will give a best
paper and best student paper awards. These papers will also receive
an invitation to submit an extended version to either the Journal of
Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR) or the Artificial
Intelligence Journal (AIJ).<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<font size="4"><b>Ethical/Societal Impact</b></font><br>
<br>
It is optional for authors to include a statement of the potential
broader impact of their work, including its ethical aspects and
future societal consequences. This statement can be included in
either the main body pages or the reference page. If such a
statement is not included in the paper but the reviewers deem that
such a statement is necessary, then the authors will be asked to
provide one during the author response period for review. If the
paper is accepted, the statement provided will need to be
incorporated in the camera-ready version.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<font size="4"><b>Submission Instructions</b></font><br>
<br>
All submissions will be made electronically, through the <a
href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icaps23"
moz-do-not-send="true">EasyChair conference system</a>.<br>
<br>
Submitted PDF papers should be anonymous for double-blind reviewing,
adhere to the page limits of the relevant track CFP/submission type
(long or short), and follow the <a
href="https://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit23.zip"
moz-do-not-send="true">AAAI author kit instructions for formatting</a>.<br>
<br>
In addition to the submitted PDF paper, authors can submit
supplementary material (videos, technical proofs, additional
experimental results) for their paper. Please make sure that the
supporting material is also anonymized. Papers should be
self-contained; reviewers are encouraged, but not obligated, to
consider supporting material in their decisions.<br>
<div><br>
