Abstract

We present a representation scheme for the declarative formalization of strategies for action selection based on the situation calculus and circumscription. The formalism is applied to represent a number of heuristics for moving blocks in order to solve planning problems in the blocks world. The formal model of a heuristic forward chaining planner, which can take advantage of declarative formalizations of strategies for action selection, is proposed. Experiments showing how the use of declarative representations of strategies for action selection allows a heuristic forward chaining planner to improve the performance of state of the art planning systems are described.
