Gowns and drapes are used widely in healthcare facilities. Gowns have been used to minimize the risk of disease acquisition by healthcare providers, to reduce the risk of patient-to-patient transmission, and during invasive procedures to aid in maintaining a sterile field.

Planning is a class of complex problem. It is a way to improve the efficiency of planning algorithm in extracting and using goal orderings. Because deciding goal orderings is also PSPACE-complete, it is necessary to extract goal orderings efficiently when using goal orderings. The paper presents a method, called GOWN (goal ordering with invariants) and uses state invariants to extract goal orde...
