The selection of path in an urban combat setting determines the survival to a greater extent. In this paper we propose an algorithm that finds strategic paths inside a map with a set of enemies without using predetermined waypoints. The strategic path calculation is based upon the hit probability calculated for each enemy’s weapons and the risk vs. time preference and it is done at multiple lev...

This paper analyses the conditions of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementations on the basis of research conducted among practitioners dealing with ERP projects. The study discusses how the researched projects were linked with enterprise strategy, how their efficiency was measured and in what extent they defined implementation goals. The investigated projects were divided into g...

The purpose of this paper is to present a C2 holonic reference architecture (HRA) that is applicable to Navy maritime headquarters (MHQ) with maritime operations center (MOC) for assessing, planning and executing multiple missions and tasks across a range of military operations. The control architecture consists of three levels: strategic level control (SLC), operational level control (OLC) and...

This paper describes the results of applying a modified version of hierarchical task-network (HTN) planning to the problem of declarer play in contract bridge. We represent information about bridge in a task network that is extended to represent multi-agency and uncertainty. Our game-playing procedure uses this task network to generate game trees in which the set of alternative choices is deter...

An analysis of strategies, recognizable abstract patterns of planned behavior, highlights the difference between the assumptions that people make about their own planning processes and the representational commitments made in current automated planning systems. This article describes a project to collect and represent strategies on a large scale to identify the representational components of ou...
