A Brief Review of Automated Knowledge Engineering Tools for Artificial Intelligence Planning & Scheduling

It needs much effort to encode a planning domain model for complex applications. It includes getting the domain knowledge, creating and validating the correctness of knowledge and then maintaining it. The major product is the domain model which consists of a set of operators [1] (also called action schema) written in certain modelling languages. In this paper we briefly review a variety of automated knowledge engineering tools that automatically produce domain models, and discuss the motivation
behind the development of these tools with three major concerns that differentiate these tools from
one another. The results of the review give insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the
considered systems, and point to needs in future work to enhance the capabilities and overcome their short comings.
