Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of scheduling plans with probability and temporal constraints. We illustrate our problem with an AND/OR graph, where we try to find a plan of tasks that satisfies all temporal constraints and precedence relations between tasks, has a high probability of execution, a minimal cost and a reduced time. Each task has a set of temporal constraints, a set of probabilities and a set of constant costs. Our planner uses the temporal constraint propagation technique to simplify the resolution of a given problem.^ We describe one approach to deal with a problem that has paid a little attention of planing community. This problem is to combine temporal and probabilistic planning.
