Opportunistic plan execution monitoring and control
… provide the ability to deal with uncertainties: monitoring and control. This thesis examines both of these aspects and shows how these may be used during execution. For monitoring, the use of Hidden Markov Models is proposed. Tracing the execution of a task through a model allows the executive to …
