Planning for Real Time Event Response Management (Hardcover)

A reference volume for software professionals interested in building large intelligent agents capable of solving useful real-time problems where critical responses are called for. The focus of the book will be on the planning aspect of the problem (the requirements aspect) and discuss how different applications require different approaches for optimal solution. It will discuss where planning is important and where reaction can be an acceptable alternative. Lots of worked out examples will be included.

• Real-time intelligent agents: solutions and applications
• Choosing and integrating the best planning techniques
• Reaction decision frameworks and language frameworks
• Includes a complete case study

The act of planning for and responding to real-time events has been an area of intense investigation in the past few years. Planning for Real Time Event Response Management offers this state-of-the-art technology in depth and demonstrates how it can be employed for maximum effect. The techniques presented here are applicable to an exceptionally broad range of problems, from web-based shopping assistants to robots, medicine to financial analysis. Coverage includes:

• Conventional and reactive planning: when to use each, and when to avoid planning
• A flight planning example used throughout the book to bring together the concepts
• Key reactive planning techniques such as Brooks' subsumption architecture and Rosenschein/Kaelbling's situated automata—and their limitations
• Contingencies: building intelligent agents that can handle unanticipated events
• Applying planning paradigms to real-world domains
• Building Reaction Decision Frameworks that integrate conventional and reactive planning
• Solving problems at execution time: anytime algorithms and real-time architectures
• Real-time planning: integrating artificial intelligence and real-time computing

Planning for Real Time Event Response Management introduces a framework for describing reactive behavior that can be used in many knowledge domains, concluding with a preview of the next steps to be taken in intelligent agent development, including integration of real-time problem solving languages with existing Internet infrastructures.
