Because of this, there is currently no systematic way for an agent to assess just how far from being controllable an uncontrollable STNU is. We use a new geometric interpretation of STNUs to introduce the degrees of strong and dynamic controllability – continuous metrics that measure how far a network is from being controllable. We utilize these metrics to approximate the probabilities that an STNU can be dispatched successfully offline and online respectively. We introduce new methods for predicting the degrees of strong and dynamic controllability for uncontrollable networks. In addition, we show empirically that both metrics are good predictors of the actual dispatch success rate.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Proceedings of the International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling}, author={Akmal, Shyan and Ammons, Savana and Li, Hemeng and Boerkoel Jr., James C.}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={22-30} }
