Synopsis:

The course covers the problematic of automated planning in artificial intelligence and focuses especially on domain independent models of planning problems: planning as a search in the space of states (state-space planning), in the space of plans (plan-space planning), heuristic planning, planning in graph representation of planning problems (graph-plan) or hierarchical planning. The students will also learn about the problematic of planning under uncertainty and the planning model as a decision-making in MDP and POMDP.
