We study the path planning problem, without obstacles, for closed kinematic chains with n links connected by spherical joints in space or revolute joints in the plane. The configu...
We present three new complexity results for classes of planning problems with simple causal graphs. First, we describe a polynomial-time algorithm that uses macros to generate pla...
Capability planning problems are pervasive throughout many areas of human interest with prominent examples found in defense and security. Planning provides a unique context for op...

It has been shown recently that deterministic conformant planning problems can be translated into classical problems that can be solved by off-the-shelf classical planners. In this...
A planning problem is k-dependent if each action has at most k pre-conditions on variables unaffected by the action. This concept is well-founded since k is a constant for all but...
In this paper a planning framework based on Ant Colony Optimization techniques is presented. It is well known that finding optimal solutions to planning problems is a very hard co...

A planning problem is time-dependent, if the time spent planning affects the utility of the system's performance. In [Dean and Boddy, 1988], we define a framework for constru...
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...
Probabilistic planning algorithms seek e ective plans for large, stochastic domains. maxplan is a recently developed algorithm that converts a planning problem into an E-Majsat pr...
We examine the approach of encoding planning problems as CSPs more closely. First we present a simple CSP encoding for planning problems and then a set of transformations that can...
