A Funded NSF Proposal
NSF grant on planning (Nau/Hendler):
- Developing control strategies which use knowledge about goal interactions to guide planning by making better selections among alternatives
- Exploring how limitations on goal interactions lead to characteristics of task networks which constrain the size and structure of the search space, thus enabling hierarchical planning to be done more efficiently
- doing a theoretical analysis of several competing planning strategies in terms of how knowledge about limited interactions can improve their search efficiency
- implementing the results of the above research in a planning system for the efficient solution of problems of practical interest
