<p dir="ltr"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;
text-decoration: none;">Automated Planning and Ontology are
two well-established fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The former investigates techniques to formally model and
reason about the effects of actions, and decide the
combinations of actions that allow an agent to achieve
goals. The latter investigates techniques to formally define
knowledge (by formally describing domain entities and their
interrelations), allowing agents to process information
about objects, and events, and incrementally build and
verify beliefs. Both Automated Planning and Ontology
generally rely on logic to model knowledge and organize
reasoning mechanisms. They support the development of
cognitive capabilities that autonomous agents need to
effectively act in the real world. In this context, the </span><span

researchers in these two fields of AI to address new
research challenges, share their experiences, and learn from
each other. The workshop aims at investigating the
synergetic contributions of technologies and methods from
these two fields. There are examples in the literature that
have investigated the use of Ontology to generate planning
models, find effective plans, and contextualize plans and
action execution to domain features. </span></p>
