An object-based world model for the planning problem

摘要

This paper presents an object-based world model to support plan generation, validation and execution for complex dynamic systems. The model adopts a modified version of Rumbaugh's Object Modeling Technique enhanced with planning tools. Unlike task-based models, this model is complete and captures such features of complex Systems as their hierarchical structure, system evolution, multilevel functions, and data transition. The paper suggests how the new modeling framework better supports advanced plan generation for complex systems characterized by hierarchical and distributed planning requirements.
