Integrating Hierarchical and Analogical Planning

Both hierarchical planning and analogical planning can separately reduce the amount of search a planner must perform to find a solution to a particular problem. We believe that these two methods can be integrated and that the combined planner will have an even smaller average search space than either method would produce alone. In this work, we present our ideas for integrating the two methods; focusing on the opportunities for beneficial interactions between analogical planning and hierarchical planning.
