Claim 0:
1. A method of controlling when artificial intelligence planning synthesizes a plan to accomplish a task in a system that is an internet-of-things (IoT) system or a cyber-physical system, the method comprising:
determining a quiescent phase during which values of at least some predicates describing a state of the system will remain stable; and
controlling artificial intelligence planning to synthesize the plan during at least some of the quiescent phase;
wherein said controlling comprises controlling the artificial intelligence planning to synthesize the plan as a set of basic or atomic actions to be executed by devices or resources in the system for accomplishing the task, wherein each basic or atomic action is defined by a pair of predicates which capture the state of the system before and after the basic or atomic action is executed, wherein the predicate which captures the state of the system before the basic or atomic action is executed is a precondition predicate and the predicate which captures the state of the system after the basic or atomic action is executed is an effect predicate; and
wherein the quiescent phase is a phase during which values of the precondition predicates in the plan will remain stable.
