============================================================


The Workshop on Distributed and Multi-Agent Planning (DMAP) will be held at the ICAPS 2013 conference in the tradition of the "Multiagent Planning and Scheduling" workshop series that were held at ICAPS 2005 and 2008.


TOPICS


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


FORMAT


DMAP�13 is a three-quarter day workshop, organized in technical sessions. Each presentation will be followed by ample time for questions, discussions.
