Generative Planning in a Det Environment

چکیده
Knowledge based methods in the domain of process and factory planning could lead to substantial savings for products with a high number of variants and production facilities. Although knowledge based approaches are already state of the art in the engineering and data management of complex products, these methods have not yet been applied to the planning of processes and production facilities so far. The extension of knowledge based methods to the domain of process and factory planning could lead to substantial savings for products with a high number of variants and production facilities. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the state of the art in process planning with special focus on a possible integration with factory planning. Based on the literature review and the requirements of modeling data for the domain of process and resource planning, a methodology is derived and a prototypical solution based on commercially available software is demonstrated. The result is a knowledge based planning method for products, processes and the necessary production facilities.

Lilies - a framework for building multiple agents for adaptive planning
Lilies (Localisation and InterLeaving stragIES) was developed to deal with a forest fire fighting planning environment. The apphcation required adaptive planning in a reactive and generative environment. To model the application, it was necessary for multiple agents to be developed which added the usual communication [15, 19] issues. The planning environment needed to deal with both reactive an...

متن کاملOpen Problem: Approximate Planning of POMDPs in the class of Memoryless Policies
Planning plays an important role in the broad class of decision theory. Planning has drawn much attention in recent work in the robotics and sequential decision making areas. Recently, Reinforcement Learning (RL), as an agent-environment interaction problem, has brought further attention to planning methods. Generally in RL, one can assume a generative model, e.g. graphical models, for the envi...
متن کاملProbabilistic inference for computing optimal policies in MDPs
We investigate how the problem of planning in a stochastic environment can be translated into a problem of inference. Previous work on planning by probabilistic inference was limited in that a total time T has to be fixed and that the computed policy is not optimal w.r.t. expected rewards. The generative model we propose considers the total time T as a random variable and we show equivalence to...
متن کاملVehicle Routing with an Environment Model
We consider the problem of vehicle routing in the fully general setting of a transportation network with stochastic, time-dependent travel times. To forecast future system state, we adapt a traffic flow model to provide probabilistic predictions. This becomes a generative model for the Markov decision process formalizing the planning problem. We propose an efficient planning algorithm to take a...
