SOCAP: Lessons Learned in Applying SIPE-2 to the Military Operations Crisis Action Planning Domain

This report describes work funded under the DARPA Planning and Scheduling Initiative that led to the development of SOCAP (System for Operations Crisis Action Planning). In particular, it describes lessons learned in applying SIPE2, the underlying AI planning technology within SOCAP, to the domain of military operations deliberate and crisis action planning. SOCAP was demonstrated at the U.S. Central Command and at the Pentagon in early 1992. A more detailed report about the lessons learned is currently being prepared [7]. This report was presented during one of the panel discussions on "The Relevance of Scheduling to AI Planning Systems".
