Domain and system influences in problem solving models for planning

Knowledge acquisition for search and rescue planning

“…The project was jointly undertaken by the Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute at Edinburgh. Parts of the work reported have been published previously (Cottam et al, 1995;Cottam and Shadbolt, 1996;Kingston et al, 1996).…”

A library of system-derived problem-solving methods for planning

“…Second, this library contains models derived from an analysis of existing planning systems and algorithms. The models proposed by Cottam and Shadbolt (1996) were derived from characterizations of planning processes in specific application domains. This characterizes our library as system-derived, as opposed to domain-derived.…”

“…The methods in the library were obtained by describing planning methods available in the AI literature, which characterizes our library as system-derived, as opposed to domain-derived libraries in which methods are developed by abstracting from problemsolving strategies employed in application domains (Cottam & Shadbolt, 1996).…”

Preface: Knowledge acquisition for planning

“…However, in the past 2 years more work of this sort has started to appear. It can be found in the proceedings of the European Knowledge Acquisition Workshop (EKAW) (Chien, 1996a;Cottam & Shadbolt, 1996) and the North American Knowledge Acquisition Workship (KAW) Chien, 1996b), and in the planning community in conferences such as the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) (Nunes de Barros, Hendler & Benjamins, 1997;Kingston, Griffith & Lydiard, 1997), the National Conference of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) (Kingston, Shadbolt & Tate, 1996), the Artificial Intelligence Planning Systems conference (AIPS) (Nunes de and in the bulletin of the Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (SIGART) (Valente, 1995).…”
