land use optimization is one of the appropriate methods for soil conservation which helps decision makers and watershed planners in order to make the optimum decision among different land uses. the main objective of this research was to find the optimum area of each land use to reduce soil erosion rate as well as to increase the income of stakeholders in golroudbar watershed located in semnan p...

Most existing formal models of goals [2, 3] assume that all goals are equally important and many only deal with achievement goals. Moreover, they do not guarantee that an agent’s goals will properly evolve when an action/event occurs, e.g. when the agent’s beliefs/knowledge changes or a goal is adopted or dropped. Also, most of these frameworks do not model the dependencies between goals and th...

Despite the extensive development of first-principles planning in recent years, planning applications are still primarily developed using knowledge-based planners which can exploit domain-specific heuristics and weaker domain models. Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planners capture domainspecific heuristics for more efficient search, accommodate incomplete causal models, and can be used to enfo...

Agents interacting in a dynamically changing spatial environment often need to access the same spatial resources. A typical example is given by moving vehicles that meet at an intersection in a street network. In such situations right-of-way rules regulate the actions the vehicles involved may perform. For this application scenario we show how the Golog framework for reasoning about action and ...
