Automated Planning and Scheduling: Fundamentals and Applications

Automated planning and scheduling is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on the formulation of strategies or action sequences, often for the purpose of being carried out by intelligent agents, autonomous robots, and unmanned vehicles. Automated planning and scheduling is sometimes referred to as simply AI planning at times. In contrast to traditional control and classification problems, these problems have complicated solutions that need to be discovered and optimized in multidimensional space. Planning is closely connected to the philosophy of decision-making.
