I have recently begun a project to examine the current techniques and
capabilities of planning and scheduling systems. This covers a wide range of
potential techniques and implementations; the systems of interest can range
from robotic task planners to mission planners to job shop schedulers, using
structures ranging from expert systems to classical programs to neural nets,
using techniques ranging from means-ends analysis to constraint propagation to
simplex algorithms.
Pointers to any systems, either from the literature or work currently in
progress, would be appreciated. I particularly am interested in acquiring
information concerning the problem domain, the structure and technique(s) used
aspects of the domain of the system that lead to the choice of structure and
techniques, the strengths and weaknesses of the system, and an opinion as to
the portability of the system to other domains.
Maybe its deja vu, but I seem to recall another recent request to AIList
concerning planning systems. A pointer to that source would also be
appreciated.
Results of this survey can be posted to the net if there is sufficient
interest.
USmail would be appreciated, as my net address is capricious:
