EWSP'95 will be following up on the two previous meetings, in '91 in St Augustin (Germany) and in '93 in Vadstena (Sweden), which provided focused forums of high quality for the exchange of ideas and results to a selected audience of workers in the field. The third EWSP will be held from September 27 to 29, 1995, in Assisi, Italy, a beautiful medieval town close to Perugia. Participation will be by invitation only and the number of participants will be limited to a maximum of approx. 75 persons. Preprints will be available to participants. The workshop proceedings will be published shortly after the workshop in book form, pursuing the "Current Trends in AI Planning" series, by IOS Press, Amsterdam. Submissions and participation: ------------------------------ Original papers in English are invited in all areas of AI planning. Topics of interest include: - Classical AI planning - Planning and reasoning about action and change - Plan recognition - Planning and perception - Planning and learning - Planning and temporal reasoning - Planning under uncertainty - Decision-theoretic planning - Scheduling - Multi-agent planning - Reactive Systems - Applications and domain-specific techniques Papers are welcome in the whole spectrum from practical and applied research to formal and theoretical research. We especially welcome papers combining these aspects. Papers should be written in 12pt type, with high-quality printers, on A4 paper (or similar format). Papers should have a front page containing: title, name, full address, email address and fax # (if available) for all authors; keywords and a 100-200 word abstract. Papers must not exceed 12 pages and 5000 words, excluding front page and references. Electronic submission is acceptable. Five (5) hardcopies or postcript files of papers must reach the programme chairman not later than April 3rd, 1995. Notification of acceptance/rejection will be mailed to the first (or designated) author of each paper by June 20, 1995. Final versions of accepted papers are due before September 1st, 1995. Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop, in English by one of the authors. Applicants wishing to participate but not to present a paper should submit a one page summary of their research interests, including references.
