The AMPS
Abstract
This major product of the AMPS project is the CAMPS System, the purpose of which is to provide a domain-independent base on which to construct application-specific planning systems. The target applications for which CAMPS- based systems are not most applicable are characterized by problems that are highly constrained, and that involve the scheduling of tasks and the allocation of resources. CAMPS is the outgrowth of a number of distinct strands in Artificial Intelligence research, but the core problem solving approach is that of constraint-satisfaction search. The CAMPS collection of tools and predefined domain-independent knowledge structures are used to construct a description of a problem in terms of variables and constraints. The planning process carried out by CAMPS consists of finding a set of values for each of these variables that satisfies all of the constraints imposed by the domain. Two application systems were built using CAMPS: AMPS and EMPRESS-II. Keywords: Lessons learned, Artificial Intelligence, Constrained-based Search, Planning, Resource Allocation, Scheduling.
