DMAP 2014 - Workshop on Distributed and Multi-Agent Planning (DMAP)

Multi-agent planning is a broad field with many applications, but its subfields remain mostly dispersed and uncoordinated. The main goal of the 2nd Workshop on Distributed and Multi-Agent Planning (DMAP), as in the previous edition, is to bring researchers working in these subfields together and to bridge the gap between the planning and multi-agent systems communities.
Topics
The organizing committee of DMAP’14 invites paper submissions on topics related to distributed and multi-agent planning. Relevant topics to the workshop are, among others:
Multiagent planning and scheduling applications
Techniques to overcome multiagent planning complexity
Plan coordination/merging
Distributed planning and scheduling
Multiagent planning system architectures
Multi-robot systems
Self-interested planning agents
Game theoretic planning
Distributed planning under uncertainty
Privacy in distributed planning
Evaluation and benchmarks for distributed planning
Centralized, decentralized and factored multiagent planning
Multiagent planning problem modeling techniques and languages
Domain-dependent and domain-independent multiagent planning
Workshop Format
DMAP’14 is a full-day workshop, organized in technical sessions. Each presentation will be followed by ample time for questions, discussions.
Submission
Paper submission is in PDF only, formatted in AAAI style . Refer to the author instructions on the AAAI web site for detailed formatting instructions and LaTeX style files. Final papers will be in the same format, keep them to at most 8+1 pages long (meaning 8 pages plus 1 extra page containing only references). We also welcome the submission of short position papers (at most 4+1 pages long). Papers must be submitted by February 20th, 2014. All deadlines refer to 23:59 in the UTC-12 time zone.
