Abstract

In many realistic planning domains, the exact duration of actions is only known at the instant of executing the action. This is the case, for instance, of temporal domains where it is common to find external factors that cause a delay in the execution of actions. In this paper we present an approach to obtain a plan for a temporal domain with delays. Our approach consists in combining a planning process, from which a temporal plan is obtained, and a scheduling process to allocate (instantiate) such a temporal plan over a time line.

This work has been partially funded by the Spanish government CICYT project TIN2005-08945-C06-06 (FEDER) and by the Valencian government project GVA06/096.
