DESCRIPTION:Automated, domain-independent planning is one of the core areas within AI. Yet, despite its AI origin, it has rarely been integrated with semantic technologies like OWL, RDF, and SPARQL. nIn this talk we will discuss why automated planning is under-utilized in semantic technologies, and we’ll discuss a real-world example of how it can solve real-world problems. As a semantic technology, our automated planning solution combines the expressive power of OWL-based automated reasoning, via Pellet, with the power of hierarchical, domain-independent planning. As a real-world example, we will present Elastra’s automation architecture for configuration management in a cloud computing environment. Elastra uses planning to automate deployment of services onto virtualized environments.nThis presentation will explore the following topics:n
n
Introduction to automated, domain-independent planning technology, and its applicability to solve real-world problems
n
HotPlanner – hierarchical planner that uses semantic techology (based on OWL-S) to solve planning problems
n
Elastra configuration management for cloud computing environment
