Abstract

Automated planning is the process of algorithmically creating behavior specifications--or plans--for agents, which the agents then follow. By "agent" is meant any kind of entity that behaves, including people, robots, servers on networks, or groups of agents. Because of the variety of agents, and the variety of ways in which behavior might be constrained, there are many different subfields of automated planning.
