15. Workshop Planning/ Scheduling and Configuration/Design
17. - 18. September 2001
Wien/ Vienna
Workshop at KI 2001
http://www-is.informatik.uni-oldenburg.de/~sauer/puk2001
The fields of planning, scheduling, configuration, and design have many
features in common and are often tackled by similar technologies.
However, the communities do not overlap and joint meetings are rather rare.
The PuK-workshop will be such a joint meeting and provide the possibility
for the exchange of ideas, concepts, and problems between researchers
from the areas mentioned.
The workshop therefore aims in bringing together researchers as well as
practitioners in the areas of planning, scheduling and design for the
presentation and discussion of new problem areas, new problem solving
approaches and new systems developed.
General Topics
----------------------------------
The general topics of interest of the PuK comunity include but are not
limited to:
-- applications and architectures
empirical studies of existing systems; new and prototypical systems;
modelling of planning/ scheduling/ design systems; user interfaces.
-- knowledge representation and problem solving techniques
domain-specific techniques; heuristic techniques; distributed problem
solving; constraint-based techniques; iterative improvement; integrating
reaction and user-interaction.
-- learning
learning in the context of planning, scheduling and design.
Focus: Scheduling
-----------------------------------
Similar to some earlier workshops we intend to focus on one area.
This year, part of the workshop will be specially focused on Scheduling.
Within the focal part of the workshop we anticipate several sessions dealing
specifically with this year's focus. In that context we solicit papers on
topics
such as
-- combinations of planning and scheduling problems or scheduling and
design problems,
e.g. algorithms for hybrid planning and scheduling tasks
-- new aproaches for representation and solution of scheduling problems
-- development and evaluation of scheduling systems
-- actual problem areas in scheduling
e.g. multi-agent scheduling, multi-site scheduling or transportation
scheduling
-- combination of AI and OR methods for solving scheduling problems
-- classification of scheduling problems,
e.g. reactive versus predictive, hard versus easy.
Paper submission
----------------------------
Papers in English or German are requested especially for the focal issue
but will be also accepted for the other research topics. The papers should
be up to 8 pages and will be reviewed by the organizing/ program committee.
Please sent papers electronically in PDF, PS or Word-Format to the contact
address below and use the KI2001-style. Selected papers may be included
in a special issue of AICOM.
All attendancies have to register for KI 2001.
