WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

As autonomous systems move towards increasingly complex real-world domains, new challenges arise for planning and control. Perhaps the most critical aspect is the problem of integrating uncertainty about state into the control loop. The overwhelming intractability of obtaining optimal solutions to these problems has been a major barrier for the deployment of planning systems that reason about uncertainty. In recent years, however, more scalable approaches have been proposed and some have been applied to practical problems. In light of these novel approaches, the goal of this workshop is to discuss important questions and open issues:
  1. What are currently the best techniques for planning under uncertainty?
  2. What representations of uncertainty are most appropriate for real world problems?
  3. What are the remaining frontiers, in terms of algorithmic challenges, for planning uncertainty?
  4. In which real world problems can we gain traction by applying these techniques that manage uncertainty?
  5. What role does learning have to play with regard to both efficient solution and representation of uncertainty?

ORGANIZERS:

Drew Bagnell, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA USA
Joelle Pineau, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA USA
Nicholas Roy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA USA

SUBMISSION DETAILS:

The workshop will feature a poster session (with spotlight presentations) of relevant research. Priority will be given to recent work on planning under uncertainty, with a strong focus on demonstrated performance, preferably with real-world problems. Anyone interested in presenting a poster should submit an extended abstract (2-3 pages) or recent paper (<10 pages) to workshop organizers (nickr+nips@cs.cmu.edu).
