GUIDING USES IN OPTIMIZATION-BASED PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAINTY

摘要

A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for guiding users in optimization-based planning under uncertainty. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method comprising identifying one or more characterizations of a specified uncertainty in a defined process; generating a set of plans based on the uncertainty characterization; and finding a new plan based on the existing set of plans, including identifying an added constraint, and finding a new plan that satisfies this added constraint. The new plan is analyzed to determine whether the new plan satisfies defined criteria; and when the new plan satisfies the defined criteria, the new plan is added to the set of plans. One of the plans is identified as a recommended plan for the defined process. In an embodiment, the recommended plan is identified based on a trade-off analysis of the plans using at least two defined aspects of the plans.

1. A method of guiding users in optimization based planning under uncertainty, comprising:
identifying one or more characterizations of a specified uncertainty in a defined process; generating a set of plans, P based on the uncertainty characterization; finding a new plan, p, based on said existing set of plans, including identifying an added constraint to improve said set of plans, and finding a new plan that satisfies said added constraint; analyzing said new plan to determine whether said new plan satisfies defined criteria; when said new plan satisfies the defined criteria, adding the new plan to the set of plans; identifying one of the plans of the set of plans as a recommended plan for the defined process.
