State-based models for planning and execution coordination
Matthew B. Bennett, Russell Knight, Robert Donald Rasmussen, Michel D. Ingham · 2005
Many traditional planners are built on top of existing execution engines that were not necessarily intended to be operated by a planner. The Mission Data System has been designed from the onset to have both an execution and planning engine and provides a framework for producing state-based models that can be used to coordinate planning and execution. The models provide a basis for ensuring the consistency o f assumptions made by the execution engine and planner, and the frameworks provide a basis for mn-time communications between the planner and execution engines.
