This report describes work funded under the DARPA Planning and Scheduling Initiative that led to the development of SOCAP (System for Operations Crisis Action Planning). In particular, it describes lessons learned in applying SIPE2, the underlying AI planning technology within SOCAP, to the domain of military operations deliberate and crisis action planning. SOCAP was demonstrated at the U.S. C...

agricultural mechanization project must be identified in a short time frame to do a certain way; otherwise, cost is not the time to come and will also result in reduced yield. to avoid these costs in farming systems is necessary in any region that agricultural mechanization projects are and scheduling and planning as well as scientific until activities included in the project to fruition are do...

In previous works [14], models and processes enabling to make interacting a project planning process with the system design one have been presented. Based on the idea that planning and design processes can be guided by consulting past experiences, an integrated case-based approach for coupled planning project and system design processes is proposed in this article. The proposal is firstly based...

The understanding of what constitutes a ‘‘good’’ production schedule is central to the development and evaluation of automated scheduling systems and their implementation in real-world factories. In this paper, we provide a definition of a schedule and discuss potential uses for a schedule within the organization. We then describe a number of different considerations that must be taken into acc...

Traditionally, process planning and scheduling for parts were carried out in a sequential way, where scheduling was done after process plans had been generated. Considering the fact that the two functions are usually complementary, it is necessary to integrate them more tightly so that performance of a manufacturing system can be improved greatly. In this paper, we present a review of the repor...

For a legged robot such as a humanoid, balancing its body during a given motion is natural but the most important problem. Recently, a motion given to a humanoid is more and more complicated, and thus the balancing problem becomes much more critical. This paper suggests a real-time motion generation algorithm that guarantees a humanoid to be balanced during implementing a given motion. A desire...

The major oil industry upstream activities include the exploration, drilling, extraction, pipelines installation, and production of crude oil. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model to plan for theseoperations as a crude oil supply chain network design problem.The proposed multi-period mixed integer linear programming model entails both strategic (e.g., facility location and allocation)...
