Summary

O-Plan is aimed to be relevant to the following types of problems:

• project management for product introduction, systems engineering, construction, process flow for assembly, integration and verification, etc;

• planning and control of supply and distribution logistics;

• mission sequencing and control of space probes such as Voyager and ERS-1.

The Scenario we are pursuing is as follows:

• A user specifies a task that is to be performed through some suitable interface. This process is referred to as Task Assignment;

• A planner plans and (if required) arranges to execute the plan to perform the task specified;

• The execution system seeks to carry out the detailed tasks specified by the planner while working with a more detailed model of the execution environment.

This we refer to as our Three Agent Model where each of these Agents can be constructed within the same O-Plan Agent Architecture.

A summary of the aims, impact and schedule for the O-Plan Project can be found in the Summary Quad chart.
