An extended HTN knowledge representation based on a graphical notation
Francisco Palao, Juan Fdez-Olivares, Luis Castillo · 2011
This work presents both an extended HTN Knowledge Representation based on a graphical notation inspired in commercial standards and a suite of tools, named IActive Knowledge Studio, based on this representation aimed at fully supporting a knowledge engineering process that, starting with the acquisition and representation of planning knowledge, ends with the integration and deployment of planning applications. The suite is also intended to be a knowledge engineering workbench for HTN planning applications deployment. This workbench includes several interesting features like a fully integrated representation of problem and domain knowledge and a new graphical and intuitive notation for easily representing HTN domains. It also provides tools for data integration with external data sources as well as an enhanced visual environment for HTN domains and plan validation.
