                      Call for Software Demonstrations

                                  at the

 13th International Conference on Automated Planning & Scheduling (ICAPS)
                               Trento, Italy
                              June 9-13 2003

                          http://icaps03.itc.it/

The ICAPS '03 conference will include a full session of software
demonstrations, showcasing the latest planning and scheduling products and
research projects.  All demos will be given in parallel in an informal
setting. Demos should be brief so that they can be shown repeatedly during
the session.

Demo submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their innovation,
relevance and scientific contribution. Commercial products are eligible,
provided the presenters are prepared to discuss technical details of their
software with attendees.

Submissions will consist of an email indicating the primary author's name,
affiliation, address, phone number, and email address, and the following

   1.An abstract in PDF format providing a summary of the technical content
     of the demo. Abstracts should not exceed two pages in the AAAI style.
     Alternatively, authors may send copies of accepted ICAPS papers, but
     abstracts are preferred.

   2.A demo storyboard with at least six screen dumps (not more than six
     pages, including pictures), also in PDF format.

Internet access will be provided, but ICAPS cannot guarantee the
availability of any computer equipment. Presenters are encouraged to bring
laptops for giving demonstrations.

Submissions should be sent to icaps-demos@postdoc.arc.nasa.gov and must be
received by Monday, March 31, 2003

Authors will be notified of acceptance by Friday, April 18, 2003

Authors of accepted ICAPS papers will be invited to demonstrate their
systems at the conference. Authors of accepted papers must still provide a
storyboard and either an abstract or a copy of their accepted ICAPS paper
by the deadline if they wish to present software demos.
