O-Plan: A Web-Based AI Planning Agent

In these demonstrations we show O-Plan, an AI planning agent working over the WWW. There are a number of demonstrations ranging from a simple “single shot” generation of Unix systems administration scripts through to comprehensive use of AI technologies across the whole planning lifecycle in military and civilian crisis situations The applications are derived from actual user requirements and domain knowledge. The AI planning technologies demonstrated include: • Domain knowledge elicitation • Rich plan representation and use • Hierarchical Task Network Planning • Detailed constraint management • Goal structure-based plan monitoring • Dynamic issue handling • Plan repair in low and high tempo situations • Interfaces for users with different roles • Management of planning and execution workflow The featured demonstrations, and others, are available at http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~oplan/isd/
