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).<BR>
<BR>
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 via Easy Chair, according to the guidelines at <A HREF="http://www.unimaas.nl/mapsp2009/">http://www.unimaas.nl/mapsp2009/</A>. PC members are eligible to submit papers, too. Most talks will be for 20 minutes. Some submissions will be selected for 30 minute plenary talks. There will be five invited plenary talks, by<BR>
