Planning as satissability has hitherto focused only on purely generative planning. There is an evidence in traditional reenement planning that planning incrementally by reusing or merging plans can be more eecient than planning from scratch (sometimes reuse is not eecient, but becomes necessary if the cost of abandoning the reusable plan is too high, when users are charged for the planning solu...

Typical tasks of multi agent systems are effective coordination of single agents and their cooperation. Especially in dynamic environments, like the RoboCup soccer domain, the uncertainty of an opponent’s team behavior complicates coordinated team action. This paper presents a novel approach for intuitive multi agent plan construction and adaptive plan selection to attempt these tasks. We intro...

It’s difficult for China’s current land transfer institutions limited to county-wide to solve the contradiction between urban-rural development and construction land shortage. On the basis of analyzing China’s construction land transfer system, and evaluation toward Transfer of development rights (TDR) practices in Anhui and Chongqing, the passage proposes: (1) we should establish a multi-level...

OBJECTIVE To study the impact of the number of choices and age on measures of performance in choosing a Medicare prescription drug plan. DATA SOURCE/STUDY SETTING One hundred ninty-two healthy individuals age 18 and older, half age 65 or older, in Claremont, California. STUDY DESIGN Participants were randomly assigned to 3, 10, or 20 hypothetical drug plans and asked four factual questions....

INTRODUCTION Implicit in public health planning models is the assumption that good public health plans lead to good programs, and good programs lead to desired health outcomes. Despite considerable resources that are devoted to developing plans, public health agencies and organizations have lacked a tool for evaluating the finished product of their planning efforts -- the written plan itself --...

Scientific observations executed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are subject to a number of complex and interacting timing and orientation constraints. We classify these constraints as " absolute " and " relative. " The former apply to only one observation, whereas the latter apply to two or more linked observations or " visits. " Examples of absolute constraints are " Schedule Visit A BETW...

The use of a laser range sensor in the 3D part digitalization process for inspection tasks allows very signi cant improvement in acquisition speed and in 3D measurement points density but does not equal the accuracy obtained with a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Inspection consists in verifying the accuracy of a part related to a given set of tolerances. It is thus necessary that the 3D me...
