Strong Effects of Simple Plans
نویسنده
چکیده
When people encounter problems in translating their goals into action (e.g., failing to get started, becoming distracted, or falling into bad habits), they may strategically call on automatic processes in an attempt to secure goal attainment. This can be achieved by plans in the form of implementation intentions that link anticipated critical situations to goal-directed responses ("Whenever situation x arises, I will initiate the goal-directed response y!"). Implementation intentions delegate the control of goal-directed responses to anticipated situational cues, which (when actually encountered) elicit these responses automatically. A program of research demonstrates that implementation intentions further the attainment of goals, and it reveals the underlying processes.

Dosimetric Effect Resulting From the Collimator Angle, the Isocenter Move, and the Gantry Angle Errors
Introduction: Dose distribution can be affected by diverse parameters, such as beam orientations, and collimator angles. These parameters should respect and maintain the international recommended levels during the realization of the quality assurance protocols of linear accelerators. This study aimed at evaluating the dosimetric effects on treatment quality considering...

متن کاملProbabilistic, Temporal Projections in ConGolog
The ability of mobile robots to project plans, i.e. to predict what will happen when they execute a plan, is crucial to flexibly plan and react in uncertain environments. While classical formalizations of this problem make strong assumptions about the world and restrict robot plans to simple, partially ordered sets of actions, real world robot controllers make use of concurrency, priorities and...
متن کاملA Bucket Elimination Approach for Determining Strong Controllability of Temporal Plans with Uncontrollable Choices
This work presents a new algorithm based on the Bucket Elimination framework that efficiently determines strong controllability of temporal plans formulated as Labeled Simple Temporal Networks with Uncertainty (LSTNU) with controllable and uncontrollable plan branches (choices).
متن کاملFault Tolerant Planning: Moving Toward Probabilistic Uncertainty Models in Symbolic Non-Deterministic Planning
Symbolic non-deterministic planning represents action effects as sets of possible next states. In this paper, we move toward a more probabilistic uncertainty model by distinguishing between likely primary effects and unlikely secondary effects of actions. We consider the practically important case, where secondary effects are failures, and introduce n-fault tolerant plans that are robust for up...
