Call for System Demonstrations

The 17th International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS'07) will include a session of systems demonstrations to showcase the latest planning and scheduling products and research projects. ICAPS'07 will bring together hundreds of active researchers and innovators from around the world, representing academia, business, and government. The systems demonstrations event is an opportunity for live interactive demonstrations with this audience in a relaxed social setting. We invite applications for demonstrations from both commercial organizations and research groups including people who have papers accepted at ICAPS'07.

To demonstrate a system at this session, participants are requested to apply by sending an email to rmj at itu.dk. The following information must be provided:

• The title of the System Demonstration.
• Names, affiliations, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of all authors.
• A paper, in PDF format describing the major properties and contributions implemented in the system. Papers should not exceed 4 pages in the AAAI style, which is also used for the main conference papers.
• A demo storyboard containing between 5 and 10 slides including screen dumps, also in PDF format.

Demonstration submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their innovation, relevance and scientific contribution.

Commercial products are strongly encouraged and we acknowledged that certain technical details may not be possible to discuss with attendees due to intellectual property right issues.

Internet access will be provided, but ICAPS will not provide any computer equipment. Presenters must bring laptops for giving demonstrations. They are also encouraged to prepare posters explaining their systems, to be displayed in the demonstration area. Demo storyboards will be shown repeatedly during the session.
