the centralization of human activities is associated with different pollutants which enter into environment easily and cause the urban environment more vulnerable. regarding the importance of air pollution issue for tehran metropolis, many plans and regulations have been developed. however, most of them failed to decline the pollution. the purpose of this study was to pathologically analyze air...

Purpose – This paper aims to develop an appropriate earthquake disaster management system for Iranian schools with a main focus on non-structural problems of schools during disasters. Design/methodology/approach – A framework is proposed for disaster management planning regarding earthquakes in three phases: before, during, and after an earthquake. A detailed description of the proposed managem...

In temporally uncertain domains, taking uncertainty into account while planning leads to problems with scalability. One alternative to this is to plan deterministically and replan when execution deviates from schedule. In large, complex problems, however, replanning during execution can be prohibitively expensive. To address this, we have developed a general plan management framework called Pro...

The general problem of planning for uncertain domains remains a difficult challenge. Research that focuses on constructing plans by reasoning with explicit models of uncertainty has produced some promising mechanisms for coping with specific types of domain uncertainties; however, these approaches generally have difficulty scaling. Research in robust planning has alternatively emphasized the us...
