The 2008 Scheduling and Planning Applications Workshop (SPARK'08)

چکیده
nity is why planning and scheduling, a very applicable research field, finds so little use. What keeps the fine advances in this field made over recent years hidden? The international Scheduling and Planning Applications Workshop (SPARK) was established to help address this issue. Building on precursory events, SPARK’08 was the first workshop designed to provide a stable, long-term forum where researchers could discuss the applications of planning and scheduling (P&S) techniques to real problems. Like its immediate predecessor (the ICAPS'07 Workshop on Moving Planning and Scheduling Systems), the 2008 SPARK workshop was collocated with the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS), a premier forum for research in AI planning and scheduling, and the International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP). A handful of outstanding application-oriented papers are presented each year at the ICAPS conference. Time and again, in invited talks and in open microphone discussion sessions such as ICAPS’s Festivus (where conference participants air their grievances in an open and entertaining way), researchers have lamented the small number of applications papers accepted at conferences such as ICAPS, CP, and the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence. They call out the challenges in taking P&S research advances into the real world. The few real world P&S domains that practitioners report (such as Mars rover planning and satellite scheduling) are discussed and cited until they become banal. Some lament theoretical work evaluated on artificial International Planning Competition (IPC) benchmarks. Others highReports

متن کاملPlanning and Scheduling Actions in a Computer-Aided Music Composition System
This paper presents a scheduling model for computer music systems. We give an overview of planning and scheduling issues in computer-aided music creation and rendering, and propose strategies for executing actions and computations in music composition or performance contexts. Introduction It is well known that the notion of scheduling can imply different levels and complexity in planning tasks ...
