The ICAPS Awards Committee
Nomination deadline: 28 February 7 March 2023 UTC-12 (AoE)
This award honors an outstanding PhD dissertation in any area of automated planning and scheduling. It will be given during the ICAPS 2023 conference. PhD dissertations that were completed and filed in 2021 or 2022 will be considered for the ICAPS 2023 Best Dissertation Award. The recipient will receive a certificate, 500 USD, and one complimentary registration to the ICAPS 2023 conference.
The award committee is requesting nominations of candidate PhD dissertations. The nomination material should include the following:
- a CV of the candidate with a complete list of publications,
- a copy of the dissertation or URL from which the dissertation can be retrieved,
- a nomination letter by the PhD advisor (this letter must specify the completion/filing date of the dissertation), and
- two additional recommendation letters.
Email all nominations, as a ZIP archive of PDF files, to the following address: icaps-awards-committee[at]googlegroups*dot*com
The two additional recommendation letters may be sent separately to the above address by the recommenders if desired, or can be included in the ZIP archive.
A word of caution: Do not postpone asking recommenders for their letters until the last minute, leaving them little time to compose the letters. We urge nominators to request these letters as soon as possible, since the recommenders may need to familiarize themselves with the contents of the dissertation. Nominators are responsible for ensuring that the letters of recommendation are submitted by the final deadline. The committee will not solicit missing letters, nor will it review incomplete nomination packets.
The dissertation should preferably be written in English. However, we accept dissertations not written in English if they are submitted together with the following documents that must be written in English: an extended abstract of the dissertation, a series of papers that cover the key results of the dissertation and a document that
describes the mapping from the papers to the chapters of the dissertation. Students who did not win an award last year can be nominated again if they are still eligible this year.
