With the objective of fostering increased user participation in the planning process, this paper presents an HTN-based framework for the abductive completion of plan sketches.

In this paper we extend a theory of action, IPT to try to elucidate these concepts. This attempt at elucidation is itself at most a prolegomena to a study that…

We used transposon mutagenesis to construct mutants of strain MnB1 that are unable to oxidize manganese, and we characterized some of these mutants.

This paper describes an approach to controlling information distribution among planning agents using irrelevance reasoning. We describe an implementation of this approach within a distributed version of the SIPE-2 planner.

We describe new developments in SRI's lattice-based progressive search strategy. These developments include the implementation of a new bigram lattice algorithm, lattice optimization techniques, and expansion of bigram lattices to…

We show how information extraction can be cast as a standard machine learning problem, and argue for the suitability of relational learning in solving it.

We describe three different multistrategy approaches. Experiments on two IE domains a collection of electronic seminar announcements from a university computer science department and a set of newswire articles describing…

In an effort to encourage the exchange of ideas, this paper explores how techniques from intelligent reactive control might be leveraged to provide adaptivity within workflow technologies, while also acknowledging…
