itSIMPLE 2.0: An Integrated Tool for Designing Planning Domains
Tiago Vaquero, Victor M. Romero, Flavio Tonidandel, José Reinaldo Silva · 2007
A great effort has been made today in the area of Artifi-cial Intelligence for defining reliable automated plan-ning systems that can be applied in real life applica-tions. That leads to the need of a systematic design pro-cess, in which the initial phases are not neglected and where Knowledge and Requirement Engineering tools have a fundamental role for supporting designers. Fol-lowing this principle, this paper presents the evolution of the tool itSIMPLE which implements a KE integrated environment where designers can perform knowledge acquisition, domain modeling, domain model analysis, model testing, maintenance and plan analysis processes by using different well-known languages such as UML, Petri Nets, PDDL and XML, each one of them with its best contribution. The tool supports users in an or-ganized object-oriented domain design process with a friendly and easy-to-use interface.
