Planning, Scheduling and Decision-Making in AI

Decision making is a critical process for industries of choosing between different scenarios. This process involves the identification of all the dimensions in the scope problem, the gathering of relevant information, and assessing alternative solutions which are rapidly growing in terms of complexity. This growth is being empowered by digitalization and globalization.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been successfully reshaping the decision making process by applying machine learning, optimization methods, knowledge-based systems, and computer vision to a wide range of industrial problems.

Despite this success, a lot is still in need to be done and numerous AI-related challenges remain to be solved in this domain in industries powered by Artificial Intelligence.

The aim of this Thematic Track is to collect the most recent and important research in artificial intelligence approach to solve problem in the scope of decision making processes. In particular, papers that describe experiences and solutions to decision making problems both from the theoretical point of view as well as from practical using AI, are welcome.
