The International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners in planning and scheduling - two technologies that are critical to manufacturing, space systems, software engineering, robotics, education, and entertainment. The ICAPS conference resulted from merging two bi-annual conferences, namely the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Planning and Scheduling (AIPS) and the European Conference on Planning (ECP).
The primary objectives of ICAPS are to further the field of automated planning and scheduling
through the organization of technical meetings, including the annual ICAPS conference,
through the organization of summer schools, tutorials and training activities at various events,
through the organization of planning and scheduling competitions, benchmarking and other means of advancing and assessing the state of the art in the field,
by promoting the involvement of young scientists in the field through scholarships and other means, and
by promoting and disseminating publications, planning and scheduling systems, domains, simulators, software tools and technical material.
The ICAPS 2011 conference was held from June 11-16, 2011 in Freiburg, Germany. (photo credit)
The ICAPS 2012 conference will be held from June 24-28, 2012 in São Paulo, Brazil.
We are now accepting Expressions of Intent to host the ICAPS Conference in 2014; deadline is January 15, 2012.
