We describe the HSP2.0 planning algorithm that entered the Second Planning Contest held in AIPS2000. HSP2.0 is a domain independent planning algorithm that implements the family of heuristic search planners that are characterized by the state space that is searched (either progression or regression space), the search algorithm used, and the heuristic function that is used. This general planner ...

This paper presents the results of a study that evaluated how well the risk management techniques used by emergency planners are integrated with the principles of sustainability. The study confirmed that in recent years risk management practice has become more closely aligned with the principles of sustainability, but the practice would benefit from a more structured framework in order to impro...

It provides family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) program planners and implementers with suggestions for how to incorporate activities that address male gender norms into their portfolios. This approach moves beyond a male involvement approach, which seeks to engage men in FP/RH programming, but does not necessarily take steps to address harmful male gender norms. This brief is design...

tem that provides decision support to human planners in a collaborative planning environment. The key contributions of our research on DSIPE are (1) constraint-based, consistent local views of the global plan that give each planner a view of how other planners’ subplans relate to their local planning decisions; (2) methods for automatically identifying and sharing potentially relevant informati...
