Rappaport, Alain and Reid Smith, 147-158. Veloso, Manuela M., Alice M. Mulvehill, and Michael T. Cox. 1997. In Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence, ed. Mixed-initiative planning envisions a framework in which automated and human planners jointly construct plans that satisfy specific objectives. This paper reports on work engineering a robust mixed-initiative planning system.
Human planners rely strongly on past planning experience to generate new plans.
Stored plans are annotated with plan rationale and reuse involves adaptation driven by this rationale. The main technical approach consists of allowing the user to specify and link objectives that enable the system to capture and reuse plan rationale. MI-CBP has concrete application to the domain of military force deployment planning. This synergistic system increases human efficiency through automated suggestion of similar past plans and plausible modifications.
