The research addresses combinatorial problems in
transportation planning and scheduling. This work
addresses fundamental problems in real time planning and
crisis decision making. Problems of uncertainty and
incomplete information are dealt with by employing a
stochastic domain model called a Markov decision process
(MDP). Complexity in decision making is dealt with by
using iterative techniques and decision theory to
allocate computational resources at runtime. MASE is a
simulation and development environment for problems
involving multiple interacting agents. MASE provides
robust and efficient communication and negotiation
facilities to support distributed solutions to planning
and utilities problems. MASE or its underlying
communication subsystem running in a stand alone
configuration can be used by distributed components
implemented in C, C++, or Common Lisp. Discusses a
complementary approach to envelope based methods for
solving large MDPs, i.e., MDPs involving a very large
number of states. This approach works by decomposing a
large MDP into several smaller MDPs which are weakly
coupled. A solution is obtained by solving each of the
smaller MDPs individually and then combining these local
solutions to obtain a global solution. An overview is
provided on a proposed new direction of research for
embedded planning and scheduling. Described is a general
model for embedded planning and control systems. This
model describes the rudiments of a software specification
framework that is critical to any significant progress on
real time systems of any complexity.
