MAPSP is a biennial workshop dedicated to building a community of
researchers interested in theoretical and practical aspects of scheduling,
planning, and timetabling. The 17th Workshop on Models and Algorithms for
Planning and Scheduling Problems (MAPSP 2026) will be organized at Redworth
Hall Hotel near Durham, UK. It will take place in the week of June 21–26,
2026.
Set amidst 26 acres of tranquil grounds, Redworth Hall combines historic
Jacobean charm with luxury. Amenities include a spa, a gym, and an indoor
swimming pool. Scientific sessions will take place in the Prince Bishop
Suite and in the magnificent Great Hall, where dinners will also be served.
The closest relevant airport is Newcastle International Airport (NCL) and
the nearest train station is Darlington. From there, the hotel can be
reached by bus or taxi.
The program will consist of invited plenary lectures and shorter
contributed talks. The invited speakers are yet to be confirmed.
Submission
-----------------------------------------------------------
We invite submissions describing research related to scheduling, planning,
or timetabling (broadly defined). Further we invite submissions describing
research in adjacent topical areas that would be of interest to researchers
in the MAPSP community. MAPSP submissions undergo a selection process based
on a light refereeing by the Program Committee. MAPSP does not publish
proceedings, other than a conference booklet (no ISSN). Hence, presenting
your contribution at MAPSP will not prevent you from submitting it to
journals or to other conferences. Similarly, it is acceptable to submit a
contribution that has already appeared elsewhere. It is expected that one
author of each submission will give a short (approximately 20 minutes) talk
at the workshop. MAPSP has a firm policy of only one talk per person.
Abstracts of 2–3 pages must be submitted using EasyChair using the MAPSP
LaTeX template. Please remember to specify the speaker in the abstract.
