Flexible planning allows for compromise in AI planning problems by associating preferences and satisfaction levels with goals and operators. This allows operators to relax preconditions at a cost to the overall plan satisfaction level. The document describes flexible planning graph (FGP) and leximin FGP (LFGP) approaches, which model the planning problem as a fuzzy constraint satisfaction problem. FGP searches for plans that maximize satisfaction level, while LFGP searches for plans that maximize satisfaction vectors lexicographically. Propagating satisfaction levels through the planning graph allows earlier pruning of search branches. LFGP is more computationally expensive but finds a broader range of high-quality compromise plans.

This lecture covers planning by dynamic programming. It introduces dynamic programming and its requirements of optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems. It then discusses policy evaluation, policy iteration, and value iteration as the main dynamic programming algorithms. Policy evaluation evaluates a given policy through iterative application of the Bellman expectation equation. Policy iteration alternates between policy evaluation and policy improvement by acting greedily with respect to the value function. Value iteration directly applies the Bellman optimality equation through iterative backups. The lecture also discusses extensions such as asynchronous dynamic programming and prioritized sweeping.
Dynamic programming prasintation eaisy
Dynamic programming is a technique for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler sub-problems. It involves storing solutions to sub-problems for later use, avoiding recomputing them. Examples where it can be applied include matrix chain multiplication and calculating Fibonacci numbers. For matrix chains, dynamic programming finds the optimal order for multiplying matrices with minimum computations. For Fibonacci numbers, it calculates values in linear time by storing previous solutions rather than exponentially recomputing them through recursion.

Satisfaction And Its Application To Ai Planning
The document discusses dynamic flexible constraint satisfaction problems (DFCSPs) and their application to artificial intelligence (AI) planning.

Two algorithms for solving DFCSPs are presented: flexible local changes and dynamic branch and bound. Experiments show that these algorithms can find solutions with less search effort than rigid approaches while maintaining stability between problem instances as constraints change flexibly. The document concludes by discussing how modeling AI planning problems as DFCSPs allows for preferences and flexibility in goals and operator preconditions.

A feasible solution algorithm for a primitive vehicle routing problem
This paper proposes a heuristic algorithm to solve the vehicle routing problem (VRP). The algorithm uses a 2-phase approach: 1) customers are clustered based on their location and demand, and 2) routes are determined to service the customers in each cluster. The algorithm was tested on problems with up to 10,000 customers and showed good computation time but suboptimal solutions. Increasing the vehicle capacity improved the algorithm's performance. The paper concludes that adding an improvement method like 2-opt could further enhance the solution quality.
Backtracking & branch and bound
The document discusses backtracking and branch and bound algorithms. Backtracking incrementally builds candidates and abandons them (backtracks) when they cannot lead to a valid solution. Branch and bound systematically enumerates solutions and discards branches that cannot produce a better solution than the best found so far based on upper bounds. Examples provided are the N-Queens problem solved with backtracking and the knapsack problem solved with branch and bound. Pseudocode is given for both algorithms.
Linear Programming (graphical method)
This document provides an overview of linear programming and the graphical method for solving two-variable linear programming problems. It defines linear programming as involving maximizing or minimizing a linear objective function subject to linear constraints. The graphical method is described as using a graph in the first quadrant to find the feasible region defined by the constraints and then determine the optimal solution by evaluating the objective function at the boundary points. An example problem is presented to demonstrate finding the feasible region and optimal solution graphically. Special cases like alternative optima and infeasible/unbounded problems are also mentioned.
Optimization problems
Optimization problems can be divided into two categories, depending on whether the variables are continuous or discrete:
An optimization problem with discrete variables is known as a discrete optimization, in which an object such as an integer, permutation or graph must be found from a countable set.
A problem with continuous variables is known as a continuous optimization, in which an optimal value from a continuous function must be found. They can include constrained problems and multimodal problems.

The goals of work study are to optimize the use of resources, increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve working conditions and quality.
Work Study
Work study is a technique used to systematically analyze work processes to improve efficiency. It involves observing work, documenting the current process, analyzing it for improvements, developing a more efficient method, measuring the new method, and implementing it as the standard. The key founders who developed techniques in this area include Frederick Taylor with time motion studies, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth with motion studies, and Henry Gantt with task scheduling. Work study specialists must gain cooperation from supervisors and workers, and consider the human factors, to successfully conduct a study and implement new standards.

Linearization involves developing a linear approximation of a nonlinear system around an operating point. This allows tools from linear systems theory to be applied to analyze and design controllers for nonlinear systems. Specifically, Taylor's theorem is used to expand the nonlinear functions as a linear combination of deviations from the operating point. The resulting linearized model is only valid locally but provides an approximate way to analyze system behavior if well-controlled near the operating point. Examples show how to derive linearized models for common nonlinear systems like tanks and chemical reactors.
Kblmt B000 Intro Kaizen Based Lean Manufacturing
The document introduces Kaizen-based Lean Manufacturing (KBLM) as a way for businesses to increase speed, improve quality, and lower costs compared to traditional Material Requirements Planning (MRP) systems. It discusses eight basics of KBLM, including information integrity, motivational measurement, sequential production, point-of-use logistics, cycle time management, production linearity, resource planning, and customer connectivity. Case studies show companies achieving reductions in costs, inventory levels, and product build times by implementing KBLM.
How To Survive
The document provides seven rules for surviving in a new economy: 1) Accept ambiguity and uncertainty; 2) Hold yourself accountable for outcomes; 3) Become a quick change artist and adapt to changes; 4) Add value through your work; 5) Be a problem solver rather than pointing fingers; 6) Practice continuous improvement through lean processes; 7) Continue learning new skills. The introductory quote emphasizes embracing positive change and progress rather than resisting it or becoming part of negative forces that stand in the way.
Dad
A son or daughter's perspective of their father changes dramatically over time, from seeing their father as all-knowing when young, to viewing them as outdated and unreasonable during the teenage years, to later gaining appreciation for all the hardships and sacrifices their father endured to raise them as they become parents themselves.
Ancient Hieroglyphics
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics originated as a sacred writing system used since around 3000 BC, combining alphabetic, logographic, and ideographic elements. It was used by priests, scribes, and educated citizens in different scripts until being replaced by Coptic in the 4th century AD. The Rosetta Stone, discovered in 1799, had the key to decrypting hieroglyphics by bearing a decree in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and hieroglyphic. It was deciphered in 1822, unlocking understanding of ancient Egyptian writings.
DesignPeopleSystem
The document discusses various aspects of job design and work systems, including:
1. Job design involves specifying the content, tasks, responsibilities, and methods associated with a job.
2. Ergonomics and behavioral approaches aim to incorporate human factors and motivate workers through variety, autonomy, and feedback.
3. Traditional efficiency approaches focus on specialization and standardization of tasks from a productivity standpoint.
4. Effective job design balances both human and technical factors to optimize performance and satisfaction.
Organizational Behavior
Organizational behavior (OB) involves studying how individuals and groups function within organizations to accomplish work. Managers play an important role as they interact with others and direct activities to achieve organizational and personal goals. Manager's interpersonal skills are important because views of organizations are changing from seeing them as machines to seeing them as social systems where relationships among individuals are important. OB draws on various behavioral disciplines like psychology, sociology, and anthropology to study individual behavior, group behavior, organizational structure, and their impact on organizational effectiveness and efficiency.
Work Study Workshop
The document summarizes the key aspects of an on-campus work-study program, including eligibility requirements, the roles and responsibilities of various parties, and operational guidelines. It outlines the financial aid application process, how student earnings are subsidized, employment conditions, payroll procedures, and the auditing process to ensure compliance. Departments must submit agreements, post available positions, hire eligible students, and monitor hours worked, while the Work-Study Office reviews placements and provides guidance.
Workstudy
The document discusses various topics related to work study and productivity including:
- Defining work study, productivity, and their importance in analyzing work processes and identifying areas for improvement.
- Key aspects of work study such as method study, work measurement, incentive plans, and examining worker-machine relationships.
- Modeling work processes using tools like flow diagrams and developing standard times.
- The role of work study in broader areas like systems analysis, business process reengineering, and human-computer interface design.
Time And Motion Study
Time and motion studies are methods used to determine the optimal time it takes to complete tasks. They were developed by Frederick Taylor and the Gilbreths to establish fair work standards and eliminate unnecessary motions. While originally used in manufacturing, today time and motion studies can be applied to performance evaluations, planning, problem solving, and cost analysis in various organizations. The objective is to study jobs and determine standard times through observation, task breakdown, and time recording. Allowance factors are added to standard times to account for contingencies. However, studies may not always accurately capture real work conditions due to observer or worker issues.
