Planning - formulating a course of action - and related
fields like scheduling or reasoning about action have a long
research tradition in artificial intelligence. However,
there seems to have been a communications problem among
European planners, with many of them unaware of good work
done in neighboring countries.
This volume contains ten papers presented at the European
Workshop on Planning held in Sankt Augustin, Germany, March
1991. The purpose of the workshop was to provide a forum for
presenting work in planning and related areas done by
European researchers. The papers provide a snapshot of
planning research at present being done in Europe. They
describe work in the areas of plan generation, logical
approaches to planning, planning under uncertainty, planning
with time, and semantics of plans.
