The Organizing Committee of the 23rd International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS 2013) invites Ph.D. students to apply for the Doctoral Consortium. The aim of the Doctoral Consortium is to provide a forum for students to discuss their PhD work-in-progress with other students and senior researchers working in similar areas, get mentorship by senior researchers in the field, career guidance, research skill advice, and accelerated cohesion with the ICAPS community.

The Doctoral Consortium will be a full day workshop on June 9th, one day prior to the 5-day conference format.  The DC participants will also present posters during the main ICAPS conference, in a session open to all ICAPS participants.

Students accepted in the Doctoral Consortium are granted a free registration and are eligible for partial financial support.

Application Procedure

Applicants should submit:

• A dissertation abstract (not a paper) of at most 6 pages, using AAAI style.
• A CV.
• A short recommendation letter from PhD supervisor verifying applicants enrollment in a PhD program.

to both DC chairs, Emma Brunskill (ebrunskill at cs dot cmu dot edu) and Ioannis Refanidis (yrefanid at uom dot gr).
