An Introduction to Least Commitment Planning (1994) [223 citations — 8 self]

Abstract:

Recent developments have clarified the process of generating partially ordered, partially specified sequences of actions whose execution will achive an agent's goal. This paper summarizes a progression of least commitment planners, starting with one that handles the simple strips representation, and ending with one that manages actions with disjunctive precondition, conditional effects and universal quantification over dynamic universes. Along the way we explain how Chapman's formulation of the Modal Truth Criterion is misleading and why his NP-completeness result for reasoning about plans with conditional effects does not apply to our planner.
