A promising approach to constructing more effective computer tutors is implementing tutorial strategies that extend over multiple turns. This means that computer tutors must deal with (1) failure, (2) interruptions, (3) the need to revise their tactics, and (4) basic dialogue phenomena such as acknowledgment. To deal with these issues, we need to combine ITS technology with advances from roboti...

This paper describes the development of an architecture for controlling autonomous mobile robots. The proposed architecture is composed of a set of modules that integrates deliberation with a standard planner, execution, monitoring and replanning. In this paper, we explain the di erent components of the proposed architecture; we describe the International Planning Competition (IPC) domain Rover...

A brief description of the main features of the health planning technique developed by the "Centro de Estudios del Desarrollo" (CENDES) in Venezuela, and proposed by the PanAmerican Health Organization for use in Latin America, is presented. This presentation is followed by an appraisal of the planning method which includes comments both upon its positive aspects and upon its negative points. C...

This article gives an overview of AI (Artificial Intelligence) planning techniques and discusses their application to the Web service composition problem. ∗Second, revised version, March 2005.

During the last decade, implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system has become one of the major challenges for many enterprises. ERP systems are large software packages, which are meant to cover most, if not all, of the information and information processing needs of an enterprise. Implementation of an ERP system is often a complex and painful process, the effects of which ca...

Organizations are struggling with evaluating technology options, many related to complex technologies like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Real options theory is one way for organizations to evaluate technology options. However, real options theory for complex technologies currently lacks organization contextualization. Path dependency theory addresses why sub-optimal technologies d...

In this paper there is reviewed a concept of adaptation an urban planning to the changing climate conditions. The statements Framework Convention on Climate Change, UN FCCC, which are actively discussed these days in conditions new challenges, determine necessity applying scientifically reasoned approaches landscape development and city transformation considering change environment. There adapt...

Manoeuvrable, responsive satellite constellations that respond to real time events could provide data on demand for time-critical tasks, such as disaster monitoring and relief efforts. The authors demonstrate the feasibility of a system by expanding fully analytical method designing spacecraft manoeuvres using low thrust propulsion. These are perceived graph enables efficient exploration optimi...

In order for automated mobile vehicles to navigate in the real world with minimal collision risks, it is necessary their planning algorithms consider uncertainties from measurements and environmental disturbances. this paper, we analytical solutions a conservative approximation of mutual probability between two robotic presence such uncertainties. Therein, present methods, which call unitary sc...
