Planning under Resource Constraints

This paper outlines the basic principles underlying reasoning about resources in IPP, which is a classical planner based on planning graphs originally introduced with the graphplan system. The main idea is to deal with resources in a strictly action-centered way, i.e., one speciies how each action consumes or produces resources, but no explicit temporal model is used. This avoids the computatio...

Truth discovery under resource constraints

Social computing initiatives that mark a shift from personal computing towards computations involving collective action, are driving a dramatic evolution in modern decision-making. Decisionmakers or stakeholders can now tap into the power of tremendous numbers and varieties of information sources (crowds), capable of providing information for decisions that could impact individual or collective...

Planning with Sharable Resource Constraints

When planning systems deal with realistic domains , they must cope with a large variety of constraints imposed by the environment such as temporal or resource constraints The ro-bustness of the generated plan is a direct consequence of a correct handling of these constraints We argue that increasing the expres-siveness of a representation can be achieved without fundamentally affecting the glob...
