The PRODIGY system is based on bidirectional planning, which is a combination of goal-directed backward chaining with simulation of plan execution. Experiments have demonstrated t...
The choice of an appropriate problem-solving method, from available methods, is a crucial skill for experts in many areas. We describe a technique for the automatic selection amon...
Planning methods for deterministic planning problems traditionally exploit factored representations to encode the dynamics of problems in terms of a set of parameters, e.g., the l...
Planning by forward chaining through the world space has long been dismissed as being "obviously" infeasible. Nevertheless, this approach to planning has many advantages...
We present the application of the Planning by Rewriting PbR framework to query planning in distributed and heterogeneous environments. PbR is a new paradigm for e cient high-quali...
