Hierarchical Planning: Definition and Implementation

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA457987 | Open PDF

Abstract:

There is considerable ambiguity involved in hierarchical planning. We present a definition of the latter, and examine several of the reasons for this confusion. An explication of hierarchical-planning implementations entails two distinct notions abstraction level and planning level. A problem in currently implemented planners that Is caused by mixing these two levels is presented and various remedies suggested. Two solutions that have been implemented in the current SIPE planning system are described.
