Competition on KE in Planning

The ICP has brought benefits to the community but is controversial - it encourages rapid development - but in a narrow area

The aim of a KE Competition is to promote the knowledge-based aspects of planning, by evaluating KE tools within a competitive forum.

• It should encourage the development and sharing of tools to help in the whole process of AI planning including domain modelling, heuristic acquisition, planner-domain matching and so forth.

• it should lead to some form of communication medium for knowledged-based domain models

PLANSERVE

PLANSERVE originated as a Framework 6 expession of interest backed by TCU members..

The aim of the project is to research and develop the enabling technology that will make intelligent planning technology generally accessible to the user community, and to prototype this technology by the creation of intelligent planning services targeted at the semantic web.

We are planning to pursue this under the “Future and Emerging Technologies” (FET) Instrument

Review Meeting, Ulm, Feb ‘03

Plans

- Stage a Small Scale ICKEP (workshop this afternoon)

- Create a FET proposal from PLANSERVE (workshop tomorrow)

- Submit our completed Roadmap for evaluation and eventual publication (workshop this afternoon)

- Proposal for a Cross – Site Visit (between Univ of Troyes and Univ of Huddersfield)
