Passing the Buck: Flexible Planning for a Smart Scheduler
نویسندگان
چکیده
The DECAF multi-agent architecture has a scheduler that makes runtime choices based on a user-speci ed utility function that considers action quality, cost, and duration. To make good use of the intelligent scheduler, a planner must provide the scheduler with choices. Every autonomous DECAF agent has an HTN planner that designs plans to make use of the scheduler's intelligence. Previous contingency planners have focused on making a plan responsive to unmet preconditions or the value of certain runtime variables. We explore two new kinds of contingency planning: planning to allow the scheduler to use runtime choices about pre-planned alternatives to achieve a user-speci ed deadline; and planning alternatives to maximize plan exibility when the scheduler responds to a user-provided utility func-

The Design of SMART: A Scheduler for Multimedia Applications
We have created SMART, a Scheduler for Multimedia And Real-Time applications. SMART supports both real-time and conventional computations and provides flexible and accurate control over the sharing of processor time. SMART is able to satisfy real-time constraints in an optimal manner and provide proportional sharing across all real-time and conventional tasks. Furthermore, when not all real-tim...

متن کاملExact Mixed Integer Programming for Integrated Scheduling and Process Planning in Flexible Environment
This paper presented a mixed integer programming for integrated scheduling and process planning. The presented process plan included some orders with precedence relations similar to Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), which was categorized as an NP-hard problem. These types of problems are also called advanced planning because of simultaneously determining the appropriate sequence and m...
