Study the Effects of Range Management Plans on Vegetation of Summer Rangelands of Mazandaran Province, Iran

Rangeland rehabilitation and optimum exploitation are the first scientific and technical efforts with various programs in range management plans (RMPs) in Iranian range management sector. The range management plans have important roles in the natural resources conservation and improvement. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of accomplishment of range management plans on vegetation c...

Extracting Plans From Plans

Propositional plans of all forms often display a certain level of concurrency which can be exploited by scheduling the plan. This reveals the earliest times at which each action can be applied whilst still achieving the goal and shortening the plan duration. However, the output of this scheduling process is simply a set of timestamped actions, losing implicit information present in the original...

From Macro Plans to Automata Plans

Macros have a long-standing role in planning as a tool for representing repeating subsequences of operators. Macros are useful both for guiding search towards a solution and for representing plans compactly. In this paper we introduce automata plans which consist of hierarchies of finite state automata. Automata plans can be viewed as an extension of macros that enables parametrization and bran...
