Learning in Planning with Temporally Extended Goals and Uncontrollable Events
André A. Ciré, Botea Adi · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2008
Recent contributions to advancing planning from the classical model to more realistic problems include using temporal logic such as LTL to express desired properties of a solution plan. This paper introduces a planning model that combines temporally extended goals and uncontrollable events. The planning task is to reach a state such that all event sequences generated from that state satisfy the problem's temporally extended goal. A real-life application that motivates this work is to use planning to configure a system in such a way that its subsequent, non-deterministic internal evolution (nominal behavior) is guaranteed to satisfy a condition expressed in temporal logic.
