Current Trends in Ai Planning: Ewsp'93-2Nd European Workshop on Planning

AI planning is a broad research topic, linked with such issues as robotics, control theory, operations research and learning. The purpose of EWSP '93 was twofold. Planning under certainty, or "classical" search-based planning is one direction in the submitted papers, with approaches ranging from the introduction of conditional actions to methods based on statistics and decision theory. The other purpose is reflected in papers dealing with aspects of planning as abstraction, plan recognition, plan modification, knowledge-level planning and learning. Borderline topics such scheduling and resource allocation, temporal reasoning and prediciton and multiple agents are also treated in this volume.
