• Abstract: Effective response to multiple, simultaneously flooded areas requires coordinating appropriate actions in the correct temporal order, under severe resource constraints. Automated planning provides a foundation for addressing this challenge by generating time-aware schedules, given a formal description of available resources, constraints, and goals. This work presents an intelligent flood-response framework that exploits temporal planning and models the complete operational life cycle of flood response. The framework incorporates priority-driven triage, route accessibility and travel costs, resource allocation, and supply management, while also supporting mid-execution re-planning in response to unexpected environmental changes. The framework is formulated both in the Action Notation Modeling Language (ANML) and the Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) 2.1, facilitating compatibility with a wider range of temporal planners. Experimental results establish the feasibility and scalability of the proposed framework, showing that flood response scenarios can be effectively modeled and solved using temporal planning, while providing guidance on planner selection.

• Adaptive Planning with Generative Models under Uncertainty [20.922248169620783]
  Planning with generative models has emerged as an effective decision-making paradigm across a wide range of domains. While continuous replanning at each timestep might seem intuitive because it allows decisions to be made based on the most recent environmental observations, it results in substantial computational challenges. Our work addresses this challenge by introducing a simple adaptive planning policy that leverages the generative model's ability to predict long-horizon state trajectories.

• Temporal Planning via Interval Logic Satisfiability for Autonomous Systems [0.0]
  We consider formulations of temporal planning where intervals are associated with both action and fluent atoms and relations between these are given as sentences in Allen's Interval Logic. We propose a notion of planning graphs that can account for complex relations between actions and fluents as a Constraint Programming (CP) model. We demonstrate our algorithm outperforms existing PDDL 2.1 planners in the case studies.

  Earth observation resources are becoming increasingly indispensable in disaster relief, damage assessment and related domains. Many unpredicted factors, such as the change of observation task requirements, to the occurring of bad weather and resource failures, may cause the scheduled observation scheme to become infeasible. A bottom-up distributed coordinated framework together with an improved contract net are proposed to facilitate the dynamic task replanning for heterogeneous Earth observation resources.
