Abstract

Most AI planners work on the assumption that they have complete knowledge of their problem domain and situation so that planning an action consists of searching for an action sequence that achieves some desired goal. In actual planning situations, we rarely know enough to map out a detailed plan of action when we start out. Instead, we initially draw up a sketchy plan and fill in details as we proceed. This paper presents a formalism based upon a syntactic logic of knowledge which is expressive enough to describe this flexible planning process.
