              Call for Papers
================================================
Nineth Workshop on Models and Algorithms 
for Planning and Scheduling Problems (MAPSP2009) 
June 29-July 3, 2009 - Kerkrade, The Netherlands
================================================

MAPSP is a biennial workshop dedicated to all theoretical and
practical aspects of scheduling, planning, and timetabling. Previous
MAPSP meetings have been held in Menaggio, Italy (1993), Wernigerode,
Germany (1995), Cambridge, UK (1997), Renesse, Netherlands (1999),
Aussois, France (2001), Aussois, France (2003), Siena, Italy (2005)
and Istanbul, Turkey (2007).

MAPSP submissions are refereed, yet MAPSP does not publish proceedings
other than a conference booklet. Hence, presenting your paper at MAPSP
will not prevent you from submitting it to journals or to other
conferences. Similarly, it is acceptable to submit a paper that was
presented at an earlier conference. Abstracts of 2-3 pages must be
submitted according to the guidelines at
http://www.unimaas.nl/mapsp2009/.

Most talks will be for 20 minutes. Some submissions will be selected
for 30 minute plenary talks. There will be five invited talks.

A special issue of Journal of Scheduling will be dedicated to selected
papers from the conference after a second round
of refereeing in accordance with the journal's guidelines.


Confirmed invited speakers are:
Sanjoy K. Baruah (University of North Carolina)
Chandra Chekuri (University of Illinois)
Fritz Eisenbrand (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne)
Tim Roughgarden (Stanford University)
Frits Spieksma (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)
