A Decision Theoretic Planning Assistant
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss three difficulties in applying decision theory directly to planning: the computational complexity of reasoning about probability, the difficulty of gathering knowledge of probability and the difficulty of specifying behavior using utilities. We then describe a decision theoretic planning assistant that avoids some of the problems. In particular, instead of generating plans it assists a traditional planner, thereby avoiding the complexity of generating and evaluating plans. It reasons about probability based on its experience, so does not require precise probabilities supplied in advance and its behavior is specified through goals.

Towards a POMDP-based Intelligent Assistant for Power Plants
This extended abstract presents a decision support system based on decision-theoretic planning techniques. Its goal is to provide power plant operators with useful recommendations to (i) maintain a plant running under safe conditions, and (ii) to deal with process transients when an unexpected event occurs. We use the formalism of partially observable Markov decision processes as the core of an...
متن کاملA Decision-Theoretic Planning Approach to Synthesizing High-Quality Contract Anytime Algorithms
In this paper, we develop a decision-theoretic planning approach to synthesizing high-quality contract anytime algorithms. Anytime algorithms are considered as time-parameterized probabilistic actions. Given a set of primitive anytime algorithms and their performance prooles, the problem of synthesizing high-quality anytime algorithms is translated to a decision-theoretic planning problem.
متن کاملUsing Decision-Theoretic Planning Agents in Market-Based Systems
This paper examines a number of theoretical and practical issues concerning the use of decision-theoretic planning to implement agents in market-based systems. The markets considered here result from the decomposition of complex, intra-organizationai resource allocation problems such as manufacturing scheduling. Although these problems can be formulated as monolithic optimization problems, they...

متن کاملDecision-theoretic Refinement Medical Decision Making: Planning in Management of Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis
Decision-theoretic refinement planning is a new technique for finding optimal courses of action. The authors sought to determine whether this technique could identify optimal strategies for medical diagnosis and therapy. An existing model of acute deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities was encoded for analysis by the decision-theoretic refinement planning system (DRIPS). The encoding r...
