Planning is viewed as an iterative hierarchical process.

Excerpt from Planning as an Iterative Hierarchical Process and Its Formalization in Computer Models This paper attempts to provide a conceptual framework for designing computer planning models. Planning is viewed as an iterative hierarchical process. Each level in this hierarchy involves essentially the same five-step sequence 1) determine planning variables; 2) propose alternative plans and generate their consequences; 3) select the best alternative analyzed; 4) translate the plan into a form for lower-level planning; and 5) control the plan. Planning at each level is subject to constraints imposed by the organizational structure and goals, resources and information available, and various forms of programmed behavior. Efforts to improve the planning process (and hence plans) must act primarily through these planning constraints. The role of computers in planning is examined in light of these concepts. It is concluded that a formalized computer planning model will, like all planning, have a hierarchical structure and involve an iterative process. Finally, the paper discusses some of the characteristics of such a model. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
