SPARK. Scheduling and Planning Applications woRKshopThe International Scheduling and Planning Applications woRKshop (SPARK) aims to provide a stable forum on relevant topics connected to application-focused research and the deployment of P&S systems. Application domains that entail planning and scheduling (P&S) problems present a set of interesting modeling, technological and institutional challenges to the AI planning and scheduling community that are becoming more and more frequently affordable for AI. SPARK aims at fostering the practical application of advances made in the AI P&S community.The websites of the previous editions of the workshop series are available at http://decsai.ugr.es/~lcv/SPARK/.Call for PapersWorkshop AimApplication domains that entail planning and scheduling (P&S) problems present a set of compelling challenges to the AI planning and scheduling community, from modelling to technological to institutional issues. New real-world domains and problems are becoming more and more frequently affordable challenges for AI. The international Scheduling and Planning Applications woRKshop (SPARK) was established to foster the practical application of advances made in the AI P&S community.The SPARK'11 workshop, the fourth in the series, aims to provide a stable forum on relevant topics connected to application-focused research and the deployment of P&S systems. Participation from researchers, practitioners, and users are welcomed.The best papers from SPARK'07 and '08 were invited to a special issue of the journal Computational Intelligence. Discussions for SPARK'09 and '10 papers are in progress. Higher quality papers from the 2011 edition will be similarly invited to a journal special issue or post-proceedings volume.FormatThe workshop will retain the successful format of previous SPARK editions, consisting of a single full day. In order to foster discussion amongst speakers and attendees, reviewers of submissions will be asked to write a public critique of each paper composed by a set of public questions or thoughts, in addition to regular private comments to the authors and confidential comments to the organizers. These critiques will also be provided to the authors in advance of the workshop and distributed among the workshop attendees.Each session will consist of presentations of technical papers, their commentaries, and a short discussion on the topic of papers. A joint session with related ICAPS'11 workshops is under consideration. The workshop will feature a panel discussion aiming at wrapping up all the relevant issues and challenges as possible propositions for future editions of the series.TopicsStarting from the results of the previous editions, SPARK'11 will deepen the debate on application-relevant aspects of P&S theory and practice, with the aim of reporting and discussing experiences relating to deploying P&S systems. Topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:Novel domains and benchmark or challenge problemsExperiences in deploying P&S systems, from their conception to their maturity in practiceComparison with previously existing technologies and/or systemsIntegration of operational knowledge from existing legacy componentsIntegration of multiple sources of knowledge and reasoning schemes (actions, time, resources)Algorithmic and technological issuesMixed initiative approachesUser interface design, visualization and explanationPlan execution and replanningHandling dynamic and uncertain sources of knowledgeMachine learning methodologies applied to P&S systemsEngineering, deployment, and maintenanceEvaluation, testing, and validationAssessment of impact on end usersModelling and domain model acquisitionSubmission InformationSubmissions may be regular papers (preferably 6 pages, although consideration will be given to papers of up to 8 pages) or short position papers (at most 2 pages). All papers should conform to the AAAI style template. Submissions will be reviewed by at least two referees. Interested contributors are invited to communicate their intent to submit to the workshop organizers.Submissions, in PDF format, may be submitted via the EasyChair site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spark11All workshop participants must be registered for ICAPS'11.Important DatesSubmission deadline for papers: February 11, 2011Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 11, 2011Final revisions: date to be announcedWorkshop date: June 12 or 13, 2011OrganizationGabriella Cortellessa, ISTC-CNR, ItalyMinh Do, Palo Alto Research Center, USARiccardo Rasconi, ISTC-CNR, ItalyNeil Yorke-Smith, American University of Beirut, Lebanon, and SRI International, USAProgramme CommitteeSusanne Biundo, Universitat Ulm, GermanyLuis Castillo, IActive Intelligent Solutions, SpainSteve Chien, NASA JPL, USAGabriella Cortellessa, ISTC-CNR, Italy (co-chair)Andrew Davenport, IBM T.J.
