In this paper, we present an overview over existing speed-up techniques for timedependent route planning. Apart from only explaining each technique one by one, we follow a more systematic approach. We identify basic ingredients of these recent techniques and show how they need to be augmented to guarantee correctness in time-dependent networks. With the ingredients adapted, three efficient spee...

This study examines a novel planning problem for multiple agents that cannot share holding resources, named Offline Time-Independent Multiagent Path Planning (OTIMAPP) . Given graph and set of start-goal pairs, the to be addressed is assigning path each agent, such every agent eventually reache...

Explicit communication planning is an increasing necessity for agent systems. Furthermore, there has also been a renewed interest in using classical planning to perform this planning in addition to physical actions in a goal-directed way. Existing approaches, however, are not applicable to a broad spectrum of domains. We present several generic pre-processing strategies and adaptations of the F...

Intelligent agents are powerful tools for complex and dynamic problems. Belief Desire Intension (BDI) is one of the most popular agent architectures for reactive goal directed agents. Planning is intrinsic for intelligent behaviour. But planning from first principle is costly in terms of computation time and resources. BDI agents retain their reactive property by avoiding planning from real-tim...

Temporal projection-predicting future states of a changing world-has been studied mainly as a formal problem. Researchers have been concerned with getting the concepts of causality and change right, and have ignored the practical issues surrounding projection. In planning, for example, when the effects of a plan’s actions depend on the prevailing state of the world and that state of the world i...

Following previous studies reporting a beneficial effect for pre-task planning on learners' task performance, the present research takes into account the possible effects of directing learners' attention to meaning and form of language on their written production while they have one- and five-minute strategic planning time. The study randomly categorized 48 intermediate learners of English into...
