Macro-operators is a problem solving technique in the field of artificial intelligence. The application of this technique depends on the generation of macro-operators. This research investigated macro-operators generation in the 15-puzzle. A method named "Iterative-Deepening Depth-First Search" and the relevant analysis were presented. A program using this method was developed in LISP. It was concluded that the performance of iterative-deepening depth-first search is much better than that of the ordinary exhaustive search methods. It was recommended that research be continued in searching for optimal macro-operators and improving the generation method.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306 |
