Planning-Based Integrated Decision Support Systems

Abstract

This paper describes a system that uses AI planning and representation techniques as the cote of a decision support system.' The planning technology is supplemented widi other AI and non-AI technologies. The overall system and its initial application domain, military operations planning, are described fiist. We then describe the integration of SIPB-2, a generative planning system, with three independently developed AI systems: a temporal reasoning engine, a case-based force selection module, and a system for scheduling and capacity analysis.
