E ective coordination of distributed human planners requires timely communication of relevant information to ensure the overall coherence of activities and the compatibility of assumptions. The CODA system provides targeted information dissemination among distributed human planners as a way of improving coordination. Within CODA, each planner declares interest in di erent types of plan changes ...

de): Roomware besitzt für kooperative Anlagenplanung ein großes Potential, wenn sie domänenspezifisch gestaltet wird. Sie muss dazu erlauben, gemeinsame Absprachen ohne hohen Bedienungsaufwand für alle Beteiligten verständlich zu visualisieren und zu dokumentieren. Im vorliegenden Papier wird vorgestellt, wie auf der Basis einer empirischen Bedarfsanalyse ein kooperativer Planungstisch für den ...

rapidly increasing urbanization in the world, especially in developing countries, let to increasing urban extents. rapid urban growth causes to appearance many problems such as wasting environmental resources, inability of providing necessary services for citizens and unplanned growth. urban mangers and planners need tools for understanding amount and size of future urban growths to prevent the...

The main paradigm for practical motion planning in the last two decades is Probabilistic Road Map (PRM). We propose an alternative paradigm called Soft Subdivision Search (SSS). The SSS approach is based on two ingredients: the standard subdivision of space, coupled with soft predicates. Such predicates are conservative and convergent relative to exact predicates. This leads to a new class of r...

Construction planners today use CPM-based schedules to represent the planned logical sequence of activities to perform a project. A construction schedule typically represents the sequence of multiple trades that perform individual work while sharing common workspaces or resources. The logic or “rationale” behind activity sequences of these schedules can include physical relationships between co...

Recently, several planners have been designed that can create conditionally branching plans to solve problems which involve uncertainty. These planners represent an important step in broadening the applicability of AI planning techniques, but they typically must search a larger space than non-branching planners, since they must produce valid plans for each branch considered. In the worst case t...
