Master Thesis Defense by Mr Ferdian Jovan Kurniawan

Mr Ferdian Jovan Kurniawan defended his master thesis on 'Planning Problems in Petri Nets and the Fluent Calculu'


Mr Ferdian Jovan Kurniawan defended his master thesis on 'Planning Problems in Petri Nets and the Fluent Calculu' on 10 April 2014 at TUD.

Abstract:

In this thesis we discuss conjunctive planning problems in the context of the fluent calculus and Petri nets. We show that both formalisms are equivalent in solving these problems. Thereafter, we extend actions to contain preconditions as well as obstacles. This requires to extend the fluent calculus as well as Petri nets. Again, we show that both extended formalisms are equivalent. Inspired from Petri nets, we add real-valued information to conjunctive planning problems. We show that the fluent calculus is capable in solving conjunctive planning problems with real-valued information.
