Metaplanning for Multiple Agents

We present an extension to classical planning techniques that facilitates their use in complex multi-agent domains. The approach implements a form of metaplanning that enables a planner to reason about properties of multiple plans in a single plan network. With this approach, a planning agent can simultaneously generate an individual plan, repair a second, and, together with a group, execute a ...

Automating the initial physics chart‐checking process

The initial physics chart check, an essential quality assurance process, verifies that the physician intent is properly expressed in the treatment plan, the treatment plan is reasonable, and the Record and Verify (RV) system properly captures the plan parameters. In this work the process was automated by characterizing the initial physics chart check as a universal set of steps, compartmentaliz...

A Meta-Model for Distributed Software Development

Software development processes are highly creative, and subject to frequent changes-making it hard to plan and schedule these processes in advance. Also, distributed projects cannot be planned centrally, especially if the involved parties are individual companies with their own areas of responsibility (as is the case in virtual Software corporations). On the other hand, certain aspects of the o...

Toxidrome-based Approach to Common Poisonings

Poisoning remains a major cause of hospital admission into the emergency department and intensive care unit. Proper diagnosis is the cornerstone for optimal management of poisoned patients. Since the definitive analytical confirmation of the nature of the toxicant involved in the poisoning cannot be rapidly obtained in the majority of healthcare facilities, diagnosis relies on the medical histo...
