Planning via Petri-net Unfolding: A novel technique for parallel planning

Parallel plans are generally valued for their execution flexibility, which manifests as alternative choices for the ordering of operators and potentially faster plan executions. Planning via Petri net unfolding is a novel technique for synthesising parallel plans. The technique is appealing in that it provides a middle ground, on the axis of commitment, between traditional state-based and plan-based approaches to automated planning. In this talk, I will provide a general overview of such technique and discuss some theoretical analysis wrt its concurrency semantics and optimality properties of plans returned.
