About ICAPSThe 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.International Conference on Automated Planning and SchedulingICAPS_cdd7ccba-da28-11e7-bc66-0e4873068471The 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).DelftThe ICAPS 2018 conference will be held on June 24-29, 2018 in Delft, The Netherlands.ICAPS ChairsThe conference chairs are Matthijs Spaan and Mathijs de Weerdt.Matthijs SpaanMathijs de WeerdtICAPS Program ChairsThe program chairs are Sven Koenig and Gabriele Röger.Sven KoenigGabriele RögerMinh DoIf you are interested in organizing a future ICAPS conference, please contact our Conference Liaison, Minh Do (minh.do at nasa.gov).ICAPS Executive CouncilMembers of the ICAPS Executive Council after ICAPS 2016:Dan MagazzeniKing's College London (UK), 2016-2022, ElectedScott SannerUniversity of Toronto (Canada), 2016-2022, ElectedAlan FernOregon State University (USA), 2015-2021, SecretaryPatrik HaslumAustralian National University & NICTA (Australia), 2015-2021, Competition LiaisonMinh DoNASA Ames Research Center (USA), 2014-2020, Conference LiaisonWheeler RumlUniversity of New Hampshire (USA), 2014-2020, TreasurerAmanda ColesKing's College London (UK), 2016-2019 (short term due to resignation replacement), ElectedAngelo OddiISTC-CNR (Italy), 2013-2019Blai BonetUniversidad Simón Bolívar (Venezuela), 2012-2018Brian WilliamsMassachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), 2012-2018, PresidentCarmel DomshlakTechnion Israel Institute of Technology (Israel), 2011-2017Malte HelmertUniversity of Basel (Switzerland) 2011-2020, President Elect (Extended Term granted by bylaws)_cdd7cdb4-da28-11e7-bc66-0e4873068471To provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in planning and scheduling _cdd7ce5e-da28-11e7-bc66-0e4873068471PlanningSchedulingAutomationMeetingsFurther the field of automated planning and scheduling through the organization of technical meetings._cdd7cf58-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684711ConferencesConduct ICAPS conferences._cdd7cff8-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684711.1Schools, Tutorials & TrainingOrganize summer schools, tutorials and training activities at various events._cdd7d08e-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684711.2CompetitionsOrganize planning and scheduling competitions._cdd7d12e-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684712_cdd7d390-da28-11e7-bc66-0e4873068471BenchmarkingConduct benchmarking and other means of advancing and assessing the state of the art in the field._cdd7d458-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684713_cdd7d534-da28-11e7-bc66-0e4873068471ScholarshipsPromote the involvement of young scientists in the field through scholarships and other means._cdd7d5de-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684714Young Scientists_cdd7d674-da28-11e7-bc66-0e4873068471Promotion & DisseminationPromote and disseminate._cdd7d71e-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684715PublicationsDisseminate publications._cdd7d7be-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684715.1SystemsDisseminate planning and scheduling systems._cdd7d85e-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684715.2DomainsPromote planning and scheduling domains._cdd7d912-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684715.3SimulatorsDisseminate planning and scheduling simulators._cdd7d9b2-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684715.4SoftwareDisseminate planning and scheduling software tools._cdd7da52-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684715.5Technical MaterialDisseminate technical material._cdd7db2e-da28-11e7-bc66-0e48730684715.52017-12-05http://www.icaps-conference.org/OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
