SARTS: A Dependable Real-Time Search Algorithm

ABSTRACT

Many imortant applications of AI systems need dependable real-time search algorithms which are capable of archieving high deadline compliance and high predictability. Deadline compliance represents the probability that the system will meet a task's time constraints. Predictability represents the system's ability to decide the feasibility of meeting the constraints of a given task from a task set well ahead of the deadline. There is a great need for evaluation and development of real-time search algorithms. We propose a new algorithms, SARTS, that is based oon a novel online technique to choose the proper values of parameters which control the time allocated to planning based on the time constraints. SARTS also provides criteria to predict its ability to meet the time constraints of a given task. We evaluate the deadline compliance and predictability of the proposed algorithm. The results of our experiments show that new ideas incorporated in SARTS lead to higher performance in terms of deadline compliance and predicatablity.

Keywords: Real-Time, On-Line Optimization, Planning Effort Allocation, Search.
