Planning is one of the most studied problems in computer science. In this paper, we consider the timeline-based approach, where the domain is modeled by a set of independent, but interacting, components, identified by a set of state variables, whose behavior over time (timelines) is governed by a set of temporal constraints (synchronization rules). Timeline-based planning in the dense-time setting has been recently shown to be undecidable in the general case, and undecidability relies on the high expressiveness of the trigger synchronization rules. In this paper, we strengthen the previous negative result by showing that undecidability already holds under the future semantics of the trigger rules which limits the comparison to temporal contexts in the future with respect to the trigger.

In this paper, we address complexity issues for timeline-based planning over dense temporal domains. The planning problem is modeled by means of a set of independent, but interacting, components, each one represented by a number of state variables, w hose behavior over time (timelines) is governed by a set of temporal constraints (synchronization rules). While the temporal domain is usually assumed to be discrete, here we consider the dense case. Dense timeline-based planning has been recently shown to be undecidable in the general case; decidability (NP-completeness) can be recovered by restricting to purely existential synchronization rules (trigger-less rules). In this paper, we investigate the unexplored area of intermediate cases in between these two extremes. We first show that decidability and non-primitive recursive-hardness can be proved by admitting synchronization rules with a trigger, but forcing them to suitably check constraints only in the future with respect to the trigger (future simple rules). More tractable results can be obtained by additionally constraining the form of intervals in future simple rules: EXPSPACE-completeness is guaranteed by avoiding singular intervals, PSPACE-completeness by admitting only intervals of the forms [0,a] and [b,$infty$[.
The use of spatio-temporal logics in control is motivated by the need to impose complex spatial and temporal behavior on dynamical systems, and to control these systems accordingly. Synthesizing correct-by-design control laws is a challenging task re sulting in computationally demanding methods. We consider efficient automata-based planning for continuous-time systems under signal interval temporal logic specifications, an expressive fragment of signal temporal logic. The planning is based on recent results for automata-based verification of metric interval temporal logic. A timed signal transducer is obtained accepting all Boolean signals that satisfy a metric interval temporal logic specification, which is abstracted from the signal interval temporal logic specification at hand. This transducer is modified to account for the spatial properties of the signal interval temporal logic specification, characterizing all real-valued signals that satisfy this specification. Using logic-based feedback control laws, such as the ones we have presented in earlier works, we then provide an abstraction of the system that, in a suitable way, aligns with the modified timed signal transducer. This allows to avoid the state space explosion that is typically induced by forming a product automaton between an abstraction of the system and the specification.
This short note aims at proving that the isolation problem is undecidable for probabilistic automata with only one probabilistic transition. This problem is known to be undecidable for general probabilistic automata, without restriction on the number of probabilistic transitions. In this note, we develop a simulation technique that allows to simulate any probabilistic automaton with one having only one probabilistic transition.
In timeline-based planning, domains are described as sets of independent, but interacting, components, whose behaviour over time (the set of timelines) is governed by a set of temporal constraints. A distinguishing feature of timeline-based planning systems is the ability to integrate planning with execution by synthesising control strategies for flexible plans. However, flexible plans can only represent temporal uncertainty, while more complex forms of nondeterminism are needed to deal with a wider range of realistic problems. In this paper, we propose a novel game-theoretic approach to timeline-based planning problems, generalising the state of the art while uniformly handling temporal uncertainty and nondeterminism. We define a general concept of timeline-based game and we show that the notion of winning strategy for these games is strictly more general than that of control strategy for dynamically controllable flexible plans. Moreover, we show that the problem of establishing the existence of such winning strategies is decidable using a doubly exponential amount of space.
In this paper the reversibility of executable Interval Temporal Logic (ITL) specifications is investigated. ITL allows for the reasoning about systems in terms of behaviours which are represented as non-empty sequences of states. It allows for the sp ecification of systems at different levels of abstraction. At a high level this specification is in terms of properties, for instance safety and liveness properties. At concrete level one can specify a system in terms of programming constructs. One can execute these concrete specification, i.e., test and simulate the behaviour of the system. In this paper we will formalise this notion of executability of ITL specifications. ITL also has a reflection operator which allows for the reasoning about reversed behaviours. We will investigate the reversibility of executable ITL specifications, i.e., how one can use this reflection operator to reverse the concrete behaviour of a particular system.
