MAPSP

2009

Call for Papers & Paper Submission

MAPSP is a biennial workshop dedicated to all theoretical and practical aspects of scheduling, planning, and timetabling. Previous MAPSP meetings have been held in Menaggio, Italy (1993), Wernigerode, Germany (1995), Cambridge, UK (1997), Renesse, Netherlands (1999), Aussois, France (2001), Aussois, France (2003), Siena, Italy (2005) and Istanbul, Turkey (2007).

MAPSP submissions are refereed, yet MAPSP does not publish proceedings other than a conference booklet. Hence, presenting your paper at MAPSP will not prevent you from submitting it to journals or to other conferences. Similarly, it is acceptable to submit a paper that was presented at an earlier conference. Abstracts of 2-3 pages must be submitted according to the guidelines below. Members of the program committee are also encouraged to submit papers.

Most talks will be for 20 minutes. Some submissions will be selected for 30 minute plenary talks. There will be five invited talks.

A special issue of Journal of Scheduling will be dedicated to selected papers from the conference after a second round of refereeing in accordance with the journal's guidelines.

Confirmed invited speakers are:
Sanjoy K. Baruah (University of North Carolina) Chandra Chekuri (University of Illinois) Fritz Eisenbrand (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) Tim Roughgarden (Stanford University) Frits Spieksma (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)
