Sommario/riassunto

The first comparative examination of planning paradigmsThis text begins with the principle that the ability to anticipate and plan is an essential feature of intelligent systems, whether human or machine. It further assumes that better planning results in greater achievements. With these principles as a foundation, Planning in Intelligent Systems provides readers with the tools needed to better understand the process of planning and to become better planners themselves.The text is divided into two parts:* Part One, ""Theoretical,"" discusses the predominant schools of thoug
