Coming up With Good Excuses: What to do When no Plan Can be Found

pdf-format:

Abstract

can go wrong. First and foremost, an agent might fail to execute
one of the planned actions for some reasons. Even more
annoying, however, is a situation where the agent is incompetent,
i.e., unable to come up with a plan. This might be
due to the fact that there are principal reasons that prohibit a
successful plan or simply because the task’s description is incomplete
or incorrect. In either case, an explanation for such
a failure would be very helpful. We will address this problem
and provide a formalization of coming up with excuses for
not being able to find a plan. Based on that, we will present
an algorithm that is able to find excuses and demonstrate that
such excuses can be found in practical settings in reasonable
time.
