Original Abstract Submitted

Computer implemented methods, systems, and computer program products include program code executing on a processor(s) that identifies a planning problem and obtains a set of plans for the planning problem. The program code determines a set of disambiguation criteria for the plans (in the set of plans). The program code iteratively reduces the plans until a termination event occurs. The program code determines that the set of plans comprises more than one plan, selects a disambiguation criterion from the disambiguation criteria, determines which plans on the set of plans comprise the disambiguation criterion, generates and displays a graphical representation of the plans comprising the disambiguation criterion and a prompt to select an option of the two of more options of the disambiguation criterion set. The program code obtains a selection from the user and reduces the plans to those comprising the selection.
