Heuristic search and other forms of combinatorial search optimization are currently very active areas of research in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Planning and other areas of Computer Science. The International Symposium on Combinatorial Search (SoCS) is meant to bring researchers in such areas together to exchange their ideas and cross-fertilize the field.
SoCS is targeting researchers and submissions in all fields that use combinatorial search, including artificial intelligence, planning, robotics, constraint programming, operations research and bioinformatics.
Previous SoCS events have provided a special focus on graph search engineering (2013), grid-based path planning (2012), search in robotics (2011), and automated planning (2010). This year, SoCS specifically invites submissions from researchers in the big data community and related areas that work on large-sized problems and other combinatorial search problems that fit the scope of SoCS.
SoCS 2014 will be held in the Hotel NH Prague, Prague, Czech Republic at August 15-17, 2014 right before the ECAI'14 conference.
