From: THE DESK (terminal)OF <Gangel%upenn.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> There are many planning systems using multi-agents and temporal constraints. But the domains for most of these systems are limited to only a very simplistic world model. The system we are working on involves a complex graphic display of the inside of NASA's space lab (within the space shuttle). There are many complex objects and multi-agents to contend with to provide a true simulation of even a simple command. Hendrix's model shows an interesting world model for a simple scenario, but without a sophisticated planner. There must be further research in such "robot-like" worlds and if so, I would greatly appreciate any pointers toward articles/papers/books dealing with such complex world models and planning systems.
