Abstract
The annual ICAPS conference series was formed in 2003 through the merger of two pre-existing biennial conferences, the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Planning Systems (AIPS) and the European Conference on Planning(ECP). ICAPS continues the traditional high standards of AIPS and ECP as an archival forum for new research in the field of automated planning and scheduling. In 2007 ICAPS is collocated with the Constraint Programming conference (CP). The intention behind this collocation is to encourage communication between the two communities, build on existing collaborations, and encourage the development of new opportunities for the cross-fertilization of ideas.
