DescriptionThis dissertation presents a new representation and action logic for integrated planning, scheduling, execution monitoring and sensing. These features were motivated by the problem of computer batch job management but are applicable to any domain entailing these forms of reasoning. The existing planning literature has primarily focussed on providing highly efficient representations and algorithms which address specific aspects of planning and sensing. However no single planning framework currently combines the requisite integrated abilities of managing durative triggered actions in an open world environment. The dissertation's contributions are a multi-purpose planning and sensing representation and an associated partial order action logic to support these features. Plans and beliefs are represented as a workflow state machine governed by a clearly defined dynamics. Time based goals are handled by treating time as a fluent. The implementation and evaluation of a prototype planner ``JobPlan" on key domain scenarios illustrating these features is presented.
