Language planning
author
Abstract:
Language planning, in one way or another, is as old as human civilization. Every time that one polity invaded the territory of another, the language of the conqueror was imposed on the conquered. The Romans imposed their language across the civilized world as they knew it. In the 21st century, the practice of language planning has become increasingly sophisticated. English, as the result of a series of fortuitous accidents has become the international language serving many activities. At the same time, it has led to an explosion in English language teaching, an activity also not based on wise decisions or wise planning.

A Multiagent Planning Language
This paper discusses specific features of planning in multiagent domains and presents concepts for a multiagent extension of PDDL, the Multiagent Planning Language MAPL (“maple”). MAPL uses non-boolean state variables and thus allows to describe an agent’s ignorance of facts as well as a simplified mutex concept. The time model of MAPL is based on Simple Temporal Networks and allows both quanti...

full textPilot : a Language for Planning
This paper describes a new language, called PILOT, to teleoperatemobile robots. All the primitives of the language are shown and explained. Some few words explain the control architecture associated to this language and the hardware of the robot used to test it. An example of mission is then shown, to bring to the fore how actions are described in the control architecture and how primitives of ...
full textAutomating Planning Using Natural Language
We propose PLANL, an approach for PLAnning with Natural Language, to accelerate the development of automated planning systems, enable plan sharing across multiple planners, and facilitate natural language interaction. PLANL uses generative sublanguage ontologies (GSOs) to robustly and accurately translate planning knowledge descriptions into representations such as STRIPS or hierarchical task n...
