# Managing Decision Resources in Plan Execution

Michael Freed, Roger W. Remington

*Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 322-327.

## Abstract

We describe an approach to the problem of managing resources in routine decision-making tasks. The central feature of this approach is the use of reusable RAP-like plans to generate decisions. This allows our system, APEX, to take advantage of the flexibility in scheduling and method selection provided by execution mechanisms and thereby mmimize or circumvent resource conflicts. We then discuss an application of APEX for simulating a human air traffic controller in order to aid in the evaluation of radar display designs.
