CALL FOR PAPERS
KI 2010 Workshop
25. Workshop Planen/ Scheduling und Konfigurieren / Entwerfen

September 2010
Karlsruhe

Extended Deadline: 11.7.2010


The PuK workshop is the regular meeting of the special interest group on planning, scheduling, design and configuration within the AI section of the GI. As in previous years the PuK workshop brings together researchers and practitioners of the areas of planning, scheduling, design and configuration. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, evaluations and experiences especially in the use of AI techniques within these application and research areas.

General Topics
The general topics of interest of the PuK community include but are not limited to:
- Practical applications of configuration, planning or scheduling systems
- Architectures for planning, scheduling or configuration systems
- Knowledge representation and problem solving techniques, e.g.
domain-specific techniques; heuristic techniques; distributed problem solving; constraint-based techniques; iterative improvement; integrating reaction and user-interaction.
- Learning in the context of planning, scheduling and design.

Focus: Problem Solving Techniques
As we have done in earlier workshops, we intend to focus on a specific area of interest: This time it is the area of sophisticated problem solving techniques, e.g. swarm based search or other agent based approaches used in planning, scheduling, and configuration systems.
This focus shall also help to attract the workshop to practitioners in the field, who are invited to present practical problems and to discuss their experiences, concepts, and ideas. It is also intended to stimulate a mutual exchange with the researchers on our common field's future directions. Thus, a second main goal of this part of the workshop is the support of research planning.
Besides this, further submissions from the general topics mentioned above are welcome.

Submission
Submissions can be extended abstracts as well as full papers. Please use the Springer LNCS format.
