Abstract
Plans allow for alternative executions, and different executions will mostly have a different “degree of desirability”, depending on times, costs, failure rates, setup times, etc. Choosing an optimal course of action whenever plans allow for alternative moves is a crucial problem of plan execution supervision. In this chapter we present a methodology for making decisions over alternative executions of plans represented as control nets. We called this methodology Operational Decision Making (ODM), because it is suitable for making decisions at the operational level of running a plan.
