An algorithm for activation timed influence nets

Abstract

Activation Timed Influence Net (ATIN) is a term representing a progressively evolving sequence of actions, where the effects of an action become the preconditions of the action that follows. An ATIN integrates the notions of time and uncertainty in a network model, where nodes explicitly represent mechanisms and/or tactical actions that are responsible for changes in the state of a domain. In this paper, we present an algorithm for the initialization of actions within a ATIN.
