Abstract

In [3] a modification of the Connection Method [2] called Linear Proofs was introduced which constituted a new logical approach to plan generation. Inspired by this idea in [7] a similar approach based on Linear Logic was presented. The present paper analyses the relationship of these two approaches and shows to which extent they are equivalent and where they differ.
