| ForMAT and Parka: A Technology Integration Experiment and Beyond (2007) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| . This report describes a Technology Integration Experiment (TIE) between the University of Maryland and The MITRE Corporation which was undertaken as part of the (D)Arpa/Rome Laboratory Planning Initiative (ARPI). This work led to an integration of the UM Parka-DB tool into the MITRE ForMAT transportation planning tool. 1 Background In case-based planning (CBP), previously generated plans are stored as cases in memory and can be reused to solve similar planning problems. CBP can save considerable time over planning from scratch (generative planning), thus offering a potential (heuristic) mechanism for handling intractable problems. The CaPER system [8], focused on new approaches to CBP. In particular, one drawback of CBP systems has been the need for a highly structured memory that requires significant domain engineering and complex memory preindexing schemes to enable efficient case retrieval In contrast, the CaPER CBP system used the Parka high performance knowledge representation ... | |||||||||||||||
