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 workshop is to bridge the gap between the planning and multi-agent systems communities, while focusing on formalizing models, algorithmic techniques and solution concepts.

Online Proceedings (dmap13-proceedings)

The DMAP workshop is scheduled on the 11th of June in the A4 room at the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering (DIAG), University of Rome “SAPIENZA”.

Topics and Objectives

The organizing committee of DMAP’13 invites paper submissions on topics related to distributed and multi-agent planning. Multiagent planning is a broad field with many applications, but its subfields remain mostly dispersed and uncoordinated. The main goal of the workshop is to bring researchers working in these subfields together and to bridge the gap between the planning and multi-agent systems communities. The focus of the workshop program is on:

• Multiagent planning and scheduling applications
• Techniques to overcome multiagent planning complexity
• Plan coordination/merging
• Distributed planning and scheduling
• Multiagent planning system architectures
• 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

Submissions

Paper submission is in PDF only, formatted in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php). 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 April 5th, 2013. All deadlines refer to 23:59 in the UTC-12 time zone. Paper submissions should be made through the workshop EasyChair web site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dmap2013

Submission deadline (extended): April 5th, 2013
Notification: April 19th, 2013
Final version: May 6th, 2013
Workshop: June 11, 2013
