Abstract:
O-Plan is a command, planning and control architecture with an open modular structure intended to allow experimentation on, or replacement of, various components. The research is seeking to determine which functions are generally required in a number of application areas and across a number of different command, planning, scheduling and control systems. O-Plan aims to demonstrate how a planner, situated in a task assignment and plan execution (command and control) environment, and using extensive domain knowledge, can allow for flexible, distributed, collaborative, and mixed-initiative planning. The research is seeking to verify this total systems approach by studying a simplified three-level model with separable task assignment, plan generation and plan execution agents. O-Plan has been applied to logistics tasks that require exible response in changing situations.
