Uncertain and complex environments demand that an agent be able to anticipate the actions of others in order to avoid resource conflicts with them and to realize its goals. Confli...
Current efficient planners employ an informed search guided by a heuristic function that is quite expensive to compute. Thus, ordering nodes in the search tree becomes a key issue,...

We consider a novel class of applications where a set of activities conducted by a group of people over a time period needs to be planned, taking into account each member's p...
We describe a methodology for representing and optimizing user preferences on plans. Our approach differs from previous work on plan optimization in that we employ a generalizatio...
