Human-Machine Collaborative Planning
James F. Allen, George Ferguson · 2002
This paper describes the design of computer agents that can collaborate with humans in planning. It includes an explicit problem solving level that mediates between the human-computer interaction and the underlying automated plan reasoners. We also describe a plan reasoning system that allows for incremental, interactive development of plans to support collaborative planning. This model has been used in a prototype system in which untrained users can successfully develop plans in a simple evacuation-planning domain.
