Knowledge-Based Logistics Planning and Its Application in Manufacturing and Strategic Planning

Abstract

This report summarizes the activities and results of the first year's effort on the project that started at the end of November 1987. This effort concentrated on investigating the constraint-directed reasoning behavior of a single agent. The report is divided into three chapters. The first chapter presents the overall problem solving framework, an integration of constraint satisfaction and heuristic search. The second chapter presents the propagation of preferential constraints pertaining to temporal relations and resources capacities. The third chapter describes the focus of attention mechanism of a constraint-directed scheduler and some preliminary experimental results. The fourth chapter presents the representational framework for the concepts used in the research. (EG)
