AI Planning: Systems and Techniques
Abstract
This article, to appear in AI Magazine (Summer 1990), reviews work done in the area of Artificial Intelligence Planning Systems. The goal of this article is to familiarize the reader with some of the important problems which have arisen in the design of planning systems, and some of the many solutions which have been developed in the over thirty years of planning research. In this paper we provide a broad coverage of the major ideas in the field of artificial intelligence planning and show the direction in which some currrent research is going. We define some of the terms commonly used in the planning literature, describe some of the basic issues arising out the design of planning systems, and survey results in the area. As such a task is virtually never-ending, and any finite document must per force be incomplete, we also provide references to connect each idea to the appropriate literature and to allow readers access to the papers most relevant to their own research for applications work.
