The International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) is the premier forum for exchanging news and research results on the theory and applications of intelligent and automated planning and scheduling technology.

ICAPS 2025 is the 35th edition of the ICAPS conference series and will take place in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in November 2025. The conference will be co-located with the following events:

  • KR-2025: The 22nd International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.
  • CPAIOR-2025: The 22nd International Conference on the Integration of Constraint Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Operations Research.
  • Planning and Optimisation Summer School 2025, the details of which will be announced here at a future date.

The organisers of ICAPS 2025 invite technical paper submissions from researchers and industrial practitioners, on all aspects of automated planning and scheduling technology. Relevant contributions include, but are not limited to:

  • Theoretical and empirical studies of planning and scheduling problems and algorithms;
  • Novel techniques and approaches that extend the scope and scale of problems that can be solved;
  • Novel tools and frameworks for analysing and verifying the properties of systems executing plans, policies or schedules;
  • Studies of applying automated planning and scheduling technologies to significant problems with deep technical insight.

The following video has been prepared by the Program Committee to walk interested parties through the major changes in the organisation of the conference with respect to previous editions:
