The workshop is the 14th in an annual series where researchers and practitioners present and discuss new approaches, systems and problem areas in planning, scheduling, design and configuration. Traditionally, the focus is on AI related topics including knowledge representation and problem solving as well as system design. The fields of planning, scheduling, and design are sharing methodologies and often use the same or similar AI based techniques. However, the communities do not overlap and joint meetings are rather rare. The workshop therefore aims in bringing together researchers as well as practitioners in the areas of planning, scheduling and design for the presentation and discussion of new problem areas, new problem solving approaches and new systems developed.
Papers can present new concepts as well as finished projects.
Presentation of the papers will be limited to 20 minutes. Sufficent time for discussion will be after the presentations and in the working breaks between the sessions. All attendancies have to register for ECAI 2000.
