Artificial Intelligence Techniques in Project Planning
- Usage of Predicate Calculus to represent and reason about Resource Planning

By Pavan Kumar Gorakavi

Project management is a systematic approach of planning, organizing, and managing resources in order to achieve project goals and objectives. Artificial Intelligence is a study of computer science that perceives an environment and maximizes the chance of making a process successful. This paper illustrates an implementation of Predicate calculus – an Artificial Intelligence knowledge representation concept in building Project Management advisor. This intelligent system plays a vital role in project planning.

1. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is a study of computer science that perceives an environment and maximizes the chance of making a process successful. The two major fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence are knowledge representation and search. Knowledge representation is a methodology of addressing the problem by describing in a formal language. Search is a problem solving techniques that systematically explores a space of problem states, i.e successive and alternative stages in the problem solving process [1].

2. Predicate Calculus

Predicate Calculus is a formal language which describes properties and relationship among objects in public domain that requires qualitative reasoning rather than arithmetic calculation for their solution [1]. Predicate calculus contains truth symbols, constant symbols, variable symbols, functional symbols, predicates and atomic sentences.
