    Industry practices and challenges of using AI planning : an interview-based study
    (2024) Vashisth, Dhananjay
    In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial applications, AI planning systems have emerged as critical tools for optimizing processes and decision-making. However, implementing and integrating these systems present significant challenges that can hinder their effectiveness. This thesis addresses the urgent need to understand the best practices and challenges involved in designing, integrating, and deploying AI planning systems in industrial settings. Without this understanding, industries risk inefficient implementation, leading to poor performance and resistance from end-users. This research employs a methodology that includes a literature review and interviews with industry professionals and researchers to identify common strategies and obstacles practitioners face. The study examines existing literature to uncover reported best practices and challenges in AI planning systems. Interviews provide additional perspectives, enriching the data collected and ensuring a thorough analysis. The findings reveal best practices, including the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration, robust data management strategies, and iterative development processes. Additionally, recurring challenges such as integration complexities, scalability issues, and the need for continuous system evaluation are identified. These insights highlight critical areas for improvement and offer practical recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of AI planning systems in industrial applications.
