JAIR is pleased to announce publication of the following article:

Safra, S. and Tennenholtz, M. (1994)
  "On Planning while Learning", Volume 2, pages 111-129.
   PostScript: volume2/safra94a.ps (202K)

   Abstract: This paper introduces a framework for Planning while
   Learning where an agent is given a goal to achieve in an environment
   whose behavior is only partially known to the agent.
      We discuss the tractability of various plan-design processes. We
   show that for a large natural class of Planning while Learning
   systems, a plan can be presented and verified in a reasonable time.
   However, coming up algorithmically with a plan, even for simple
   classes of systems is apparently intractable.
      We emphasize the role of off-line plan-design processes, and show
   that, in most natural cases, the verification (projection) part can be
   carried out in an efficient algorithmic manner.
