چکیده
This paper discusses techniques for performing eecient decision-theoretic planning. We give an overview of the drips decision-theoretic reenement planning system, which uses abstraction to eeciently identify optimal plans. We present techniques for automatically generating search control information , which can signiicantly improve the planner's performance. We evaluate the ee-ciency of drips both with and without the search control rules on a complex medical planning problem and compare its performance to that of a branch-and-bound decision tree algorithm.

متن کاملVariable Independence in Markov Decision Problems
In decision-theoretic planning, the problem of planning under uncertainty is formulated as a multidimensional, or factoredMDP. Traditional dynamic programming techniques are ine cient for solving factored MDPs whose state and action spaces are exponential in the number of the state and action variables, correspondingly. We focus on exploiting problems' structure imposed by variable independence...
متن کاملUsing Decision-Theoretic Planning Agents in Market-Based Systems
This paper examines a number of theoretical and practical issues concerning the use of decision-theoretic planning to implement agents in market-based systems. The markets considered here result from the decomposition of complex, intra-organizationai resource allocation problems such as manufacturing scheduling. Although these problems can be formulated as monolithic optimization problems, they...
متن کاملScaling Up Decision Theoretic Planning to Planetary Rover Problems
Because of communication limits, planetary rovers must operate autonomously during consequent durations. The ability to plan under uncertainty is one of the main components of autonomy. Previous approaches to planning under uncertainty in NASA applications are not able to address the challenges of future missions, because of several apparent limits. On another side, decision theory provides a s...
