Rural Planning as Regional Practical Science

Geographic Information Science Implications for Urban and Regional Planning

This paper was prepared in response to the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS) 1999 Summer Assembly application challenge. The purpose of that challenge was to review the achievements and implications of geographic information science relevant to urban and regional planning. The review identified five areas of geographic information science contributions: geographic...

Practical Planning in COLLAGE

COLLAGE is a domain-independent planner that differs from traditional planners in two key ways: (1) it uses diverse and extendible set of action-based plan constructions methods; and (2) it utilizes a technique called localization to partition the planning problem into smaller (and potentially interacting) subproblems. In this paper, we describe these features and how they are exploited in two ...

Practical Real-Time Planning

Optimal real-time planning at run time is impossible for complex domains, since planning is intractable. "Reactive" planning has opted for pre-colnpiled plans, but such plans cannot cope with changing goals, and the space of pre-compiled plans is too large to store for a complex domain. Heuristics can prune planning so that it is of more manageable complexity, but there is still no guarantee th...
