Prior to 1984, work on Interplan (1972-4) and Nonlin (1975-6) was funded by the UK Science and Engineering Research Council and provided technical input to the design of O-Plan.
From 1984 to 1988, the O-Plan project was funded by the UK Science and Engineering Research Council on grant numbers GR/C/}59178 and GR/D/58987 (UK Alvey Programme project number IKBS/151). The work was also supported by a fellowship from SD-Scicon for Austin Tate from 1984 to 1985.
From 1989 to 1992, the O-Plan project was supported by the US Air Force Rome Laboratory through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and their European Office of Aerospace Research and Development by contract number F49620-89-C-0081 (EOARD/88-0044) monitored by Northrup Fowler III at the USAF Rome Laboratory.
From 1992 to 1995, the O-Plan project is being supported by the ARPA/Rome Laboratory Knowledge Based Planning and Scheduling Initiative through the US Air Force Rome Laboratory through the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and their European Office of Aerospace Research and Development by contract number F49620-92-C-0042 (EOARD/92-0001) monitored by Northrup Fowler III at the USAF Rome Laboratory.
Additional resources for the O-Plan project has been provided by the Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute through the EUROPA (Edinburgh University Research on Planning Architectures) institute development project.
From 1989 to 1993, research on scheduling applications of the O-Plan architecture was funded by Hitachi Europe Ltd. From 1989 to 1992, the UK Science and Engineering Research Council (grant number GR/F36545 - UK Information Engineering Directorate project number IED 4/1/1320) funded a collaborative project with ICL, Imperial College and other partners in which the O-Plan architecture was used to guide the design and development of a planner with a flexible temporal logic representation of the plan state. A number of other research and development contracts placed with AIAI have led to research progress on the O-Plan prototype.
