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.

Design, implementation and run-time evolution of a mission-based multiagent system

TL;DR: The mission is a high-level abstraction that combines the overall goal of a system, the means and the process of achieving that goal, and is the basis from which agents can be automatically generated.

Using I-X Process Panels as Intelligent To-Do Lists for Agent Coordination in Personnel Recovery

TL;DR: The result shows that an I-X application can be usefully used in so-called "Command Post Exercises" eliminating some of the basic problems that often occur.

Applying monte-carlo tree search in HTN planning

TL;DR: This work investigates Monte-Carlo tree search (MCTS) as a new algorithmic alternative in HTN planning, and implements combinations of MCTS with heuristic search in Panda and JSHOP to address lifted (non-grounded) planning.

Pre-processing planning domains containing Language Axioms

TL;DR: Preliminary experimental results seem to suggest that the approach identified is sound and may lead to improvements in planning performance, and the method presented can be generalised and used with any set of axioms of the type considered.

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.
