Contingency Selection in Plan

A key question in conditional planning is: how many, and which of the possible execution failures should be planned for? One cannot , in general, plan for all the failures that can be anticipated: there are simply too many.

One cannot, in general, plan for all the possible failures because the search space is too large. One cannot ignore all the possible failures, or one will fail to produce sufficiently flexible plans.

The discovery has led to enormous amounts of new knowledge, including the fact that the human genome has a physical size of 3 × 10 base pairs that encode and regulate approximately 32,000 genes. It has also spawned new fields, such as Genomics, which was born in Europe (Goetz, 20...
