An automated user-centered planning framework for decision support in environmental early warnings

This paper presents the integration of automated planning in AUTO, a framework able to design plans of composed services for environmental early warning management. AUTO is based on three components: a request processing module that transforms natural language and context information into a planning instance; the automated planning and execution module based on an architecture for planning and execution, PELEA; and the Service Execution Environment for Web and Telco Services. The integration of a planning component provides two basic functionalities: the possibility of customizing the composition of services based on the preferences of the user and a middleware level that interfaces the execution of services in the environment.
