Abstract: This paper describes a method for unfolding a Predicate-net representation of a logistical planning problem, such that it possesses the Markov property. The problem can then be easily converted into a Markov Decision Process (MDP) which can be solved in a tractable manner using standard Dynamic Programming algorithms.
