IMACS: A Case Study in Real-World Planning

This article illustrates the complexities of real-world planning and how we can create AI planning systems to address them. We describe the IMACS Project (Interactive Manufacturability Analysis and Critiquing System) from the University of Maryland, College Park. IMACS is an automated designer's aid to evaluate the manufacturability of machined parts and suggest design modi cations to improve m...

Decision-scaling for Robust Planning and Policy under Climate Uncertainty World Resources Report Uncertainty Series

According to conventional wisdom, planning for the future is becoming more difficult due to anthropogenic climate change. As the story goes, it is possible that a plan may be made anticipating one climate future and then disaster results when another future climate unfolds. In practice, it is often possible to assess risks and develop robust strategies that arise due to climate uncertainties th...
