Planning in Intelligent Systems discusses the differences and similarities in the planning approaches of various scientific fields by analyzing generic planning characteristics that exist in all planning approaches. Each chapter, broken into practical sections, contains a short introduction, linking the contents of that chapter to the main ideas featured in preceding chapters, such as planning behavior in different situations, modeling of planning support systems, mathematical models for planning support, and planning in artificial intelligence.
