Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Knowledge-based project planning" ?
The authors proposed that plans can be developed efficiently, and measures of plan success can be improved, by supporting project planners with a KBPP system. To this end, the authors proposed a KBPP system that extends hierarchical planning systems with case decomposition of tasks to aid the development of work breakdown structures. In their future research, the authors plan to address these issues. The authors hope that this paper will stimulate a dialog concerning the relationship of project planning and hierarchical planning to discuss ways in which techniques from these two fields can be used to develop intelligent project management systems.
Q3. What is the meaning of a task network?
A Task Network (TN) is a set of tasks, and their ordering relations, denoted as N=({t1,…,tm},<) (m≥0), where < is a binary relation expressing temporal constraints between tasks.
Q4. What is the meaning of a dashed line?
A dashed line with an arrow starting at a subtask and ending at another denotes an ordering relation between them, implying that the predecessor subtask at which the dashed line originates must be completed before the successor subtask at which the dashed line terminates.
Q5. What can be done to increase the set of tasks decomposable by an automated planning system?
Combining the method and case decomposition techniques can significantly increase the set of tasks decomposable by an automated planning system.
Q6. What is the key advantage of a case retrieval approach for project planning?
Case retrieval allows an organization to capture, retain, and leverage critical project planning know-how in order to stay competitive.
Q7. What is the architecture for knowledge-based project planning?
This architecture employs an integrated set of methodologies, including hierarchical plan generation and case retrieval, for reusing experience to support a project planner in the creation of a WBS.
Q8. What is the main advantage of a KBPP system?
The authors proposed that plans can be developed efficiently, and measures of plan success can be improved, by supporting project planners with a KBPP system.
Q9. What is the definition of a project?
The Project Management Institute’s A Guide for the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMI, 1999) defines a project as an endeavor to create a unique product or to deliver a unique service.
Q10. What funding was provided to this research?
This research was supported by funding from DARPA, ONR, AFRL (F306029910013 and F3060200-2-0505), ARL (DAAL0197K0135), and the University of Maryland General Research Board.
Q11. What is the name of the system?
Their description refers to HICAP (Muñoz-Avila et al., 1999), a system originally implemented to support hierarchical planning, which the authors have extended to function as a KBPP system.
Q12. What is the purpose of this paper?
The authors hope that this paper will stimulate a dialog concerning the relationship of project planning and hierarchical planning to discuss ways in which techniques from these two fields can be used to develop intelligent project management systems.
