Notification Planning with Developing Information States

Besides triggered notification, intelligent notification keeps track of human users plans and events to be expected in the future. As states of the notification system vary in time, best choices for notification do as well. In order to employ the knowledg

PREFACE

This volume contains papers read at the 6th workshop on " Planning based on Decision Theory", Udine (Italy), Sept. 26-28, 2002 and prepared for final publication. As its preceding ones, this workshop took place under the auspices of the International Schoolfor the Synthesis ofExpert Knowledge (ISSEK) and held in the impressive Palazzo del Torso of the Centre International des Sciences Mecaniques (CISM), Udine. The workshop was organised jointly by Prof G. Della Riccia (University of Udine), Prof D. Dubois (University of Toulouse), Prof R. Kruse (University of Magdeburg), and Prof H .- J. Lenz (Free University Berlin). As the workshop was an invitational therefore there was no need for a call for contributed papers. Instead of a CjP the organisers recruited research workers who have had an impact on the main topic of the meeting. Planning is an area that deals with sequential decision problems. Starting from an initial state, we are interested in finding a sequence of actions in order to achieve a set of predefined goals. Planning goes back to the early 60's with the General Problem Solver, which was the first automated planner published in the literature. Typically, this type of planner assumes a deterministic world that can be handled by unconditional, ever successful actions. Despite its limitations it had a strong impact onfollow-
