    Abstract

    User-friendly Companion Systems require Artificial Intelligence planning to take into account human planning behavior. We conducted a qualitative exploratory study of human planning in a knowledge rich, real-world scenario. Participants were tasked with setting up a home theater. The effect of strategy knowledge on problem solving was investigated by comparing the performance of two groups: one group (n = 23) with strategy instructions for problem solving and a control group without such instructions (n = 16). We inductively identify behavioral patterns for human strategy use through Markov matrices. Based on the results, we derive implications for the design of planning-based assistance systems.
