Below is an updated version of a call for papers which appeared in the
recent AAAI SIGMAN Newsletter. The additional notes at the bottom
explain the differences between this call and the one which was
published in the newsletter.
AAAI SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP ON MANUFACTURING (SIGMAN)
WORKSHOP ON MANUFACTURING PLANNING
CALL FOR PAPERS/PARTICIPATION
This one-day workshop is to be held on August 22, during the
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) in
Detroit.
1. Workshop Description
The purpose of this workshop is to identify critical issues
in manufacturing planning, applicable AI technologies, and
directions for future research.
2. Topics of Interest
The subject area, manufacturing planning, is interpreted here
to include all areas of manufacturing in which AI planning
techniques might be applicable. For example, process planning
would be such an area.
One exception to the above is that this workshop will not deal
with production scheduling (which is to be handled in a separate
workshop).
5. Workshop Format
The workshop will be divided into panels on various topics.
For each topic, short presentations will be given by the
panel members, followed by extended discussions.
4. Organizing Committee

5. Submissions
Those interested in participating should submit a one- or two-page
extended abstract, along with a list of related publications.
Submissions should be addressed as follows:

ATTN: SIGMAN PLANNING WORKSHOP
Attendees will be selected by the organizing committee,
based on the committee's evaluation of the submissions.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
A. A similar call for papers appeared in the recent SIGMAN newsletter,
with a submission deadline of April 17. However, the newsletter
was not distributed until early April, which gave very little lead
time for preparing submissions. Thus, we have changed the
submission deadline to May 12. Notifications about acceptances
will be sent out around mid-June.
B. Several potential participants have asked me whether they will be
required to submit a full paper for the workshop proceedings
if their extended abstract is accepted for the workshop. They
are welcome to do so if they wish, but our intention is that the
proceedings will consist simply of the submitted extended abstracts.
