Abstract

Decision making is an active area of research in simulation, systems engineering and artificial intelligence. One subset area of decision making, automated route planning, is covered with our approach being based on the technique of simulation rather than on purely heuristic or geometric techniques. This new technique is called simulation-based planning. Simulation-based planning is useful for route planning under various conditions including uncertain locations and events with potential adversarial activity. We claim that it is only by using simulation that one can make the most effective plan in uncertain and complex environments. An experimental design is outlined along with our plans for further development.
