SPA: Systematic Plan Adaptor

areas/planning/systems/spa/
This directory contains SPA (Systematic Plan Adaptor), a Lisp case-based planning system. SPA is a domain-independent algorithm for case-based plan adaptation that is sound, complete, and systematic. Since SPA is sound, every plan it returns is guaranteed to achieve the goal. Since the algorithm is complete, it is guaranteed to find a plan if one exists, regardless of the initial plan returned from the library. Systematicity guarantees that SPA explores the space of partially specified, incomplete plans avoiding redundant or wasted effort. The algorithm provides an excellent vehicle for further study, particularly on issues involving the role of heuristic and problem-specific knowledge in the planning process.
