APP: Agent Planning Package

Abstract

Nowadays, a large number of planning systems exist. The majority of them are
either applicable only to specific domains (domain dependent) or support only
plan generation, but not plan execution and supervision. This paper presents
Agent Planning Package (APP), a new domain independent planner which
facilitates the creation of intelligent agents. Through the use of APP, agents
can generate plans within their operating environment, as well as execute them
and supervise the execution. Furthermore, APP supports online changes to the
planning problem and domain, as well as creation of multiple plans and plans
which contain alternative paths of execution.
