An approach to representation and reasoning about these sequences is described here and leads to several alternative explicit and implicit plan representations. The Pleiades system will provide an interactive software environment for designers to evaluate alternative systems and product designs through their impact on the feasibility and complexity of the resulting assembly sequences.}, number={1}, journal={AI Magazine}, author={Sanderson, Arthur C. and Homem de Mello, Luiz S. and Zhang, Hui}, year={1990}, month={Mar.}, pages={62} }
