TLDR
In the authors' tests, SHOP was several orders of magnitude faster man Blackbox and several times faster than TLpian, even though SHOP is coded in Lisp and the other planners are coded in C.
Abstract
SHOP (Simple Hierarchical Ordered Planner) is a domain-independent HTN planning system with the following characteristics. • SHOP plans for tasks in the same order that they will later be executed. This avoids some goal-interaction issues that arise in other HTN planners, so that the planning algorithm is relatively simple. • Since SHOP knows the complete world-state at each step of the planning process, it can use highly expressive domain representations. For example, it can do planning problems that require complex numeric computations. • In our tests, SHOP was several orders of magnitude faster man Blackbox and several times faster than TLpian, even though SHOP is coded in Lisp and the other planners are coded in C.

Theoretical and Empirical Aspects of a Planner in a Multi-agent Environment

TL;DR: Using NEO's as new, more realistic benchmarks for planners acting in an agent environment, and a memoization mechanism implemented on top of shop, which improves the overall performance considerably are the main results.

Cultural Diversity for Virtual Characters: Investigating Behavioral Aspects across Cultures

TL;DR: Birgit Endrass addresses the question of how social aspects such as culture can be integrated into the behavioral models of virtual characters by carrying out a hybrid approach based on theoretical background from the social sciences as well as a multimodal corpus analysis.

Adaptive Agents in Minecraft: A Hybrid Paradigm for Combining Domain Knowledge with Reinforcement Learning

TL;DR: An early evaluation of the algorithm using simulation for adaptive agents planning in a dynamic world shows that a combined approach using both HTN and RL is more flexible than HTN alone and more efficient than RL alone.

Adaptive CGF Commander Behavior Modeling Through HTN Guided Monte Carlo Tree Search

TL;DR: This paper aims to apply Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for the behavior modeling of CGF commander, and forms the tree model through the state and action abstraction, and extends its expansion process to handle simultaneous and durative moves.

A Structure for Plans and Behavior

TL;DR: Progress to date in the ability of a computer system to understand and reason about actions is described, and the structure of a plan of actions is as important for problem solving and execution monitoring as the nature of the actions themselves.
