Distributed sipe ( dsipe ) is a distributed planning system that provides decision support to human planners in a collaborative planning environment. The key contributions of our research on dsipe are (1) constraint‐based, consistent local views of the global plan that give each planner a view of how other planners' subplans relate to their local planning decisions; (2) methods for automatically identifying and sharing potentially relevant information among distributed planning agents; and (3) techniques for merging subplans that leverage the shared subplan structure to generate a complete, final plan. dsipe is a fully implemented system and has been demonstrated to end users in the maritime (United States Navy and United States Marine Corps) planning community.
