The IDUN Project
This is a very brief desription of the IDUN Project. Its aim is to acquire knowledge about time-oriented planning with the Asgaard-Project in the sports domain.
Target application is the automatic support of producing individual workout plans at fitness-seminars. These seminars have been performed by the Austrian Army Sport Science Service. In the current stage of the project further information is only available for project members (password required). A more detailed introduction will be published soon. An archived version is available on CD ROM.
As the Asgaard project has its roots in the artificial intelligence, we do not only try to formulate a new, powerful planning language, but also want to proof Asbru's capabilities in a real-world environment. Therefore we have chosen a preventive domain, establishing support to workout plans at fitness seminars. The access and evaluation is much easier in this domain than in a hospital where the access to physicians and patients is much more restricted.

As my roots are in sports, we tried to establish workout planning in Austria's top level sports. Now we will focus more on the health aspect of sports. In Figure 1 the greyed boxes are supervised activities from participants of fitness seminars. The white boxes support tasks within the Asgaard-framework. Actually my work has been to create a knowledge model and acquire knowledge together with experts from the Austrian Army Sport Science Service. The knowledge model is based on Asbru in XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format. XML allows to integrate verbal description with semantic information, building "fingerprints" from each atomar piece in Asbru (e.g. the description of an exercise to perform). The aim is to evaluate the capabilities of the Asbaard/Asbru concept and to improve computer aided planning in the health care domain.
