Title: Bastian Schürmann and Hierarchical Planning for Technical Workflows.

Introduction

Bastian Schürmann is an inventor associated with Neufahrn, Germany, and Siemens Aktiengesellschaft. His patent work addresses how operation sequences for technical systems can be planned and checked against desired goal states.

Latest Patents

The supplied information lists 1 patent for Schürmann: “Method and Device for Hierarchically Planning Executions of Operation Sequences Achieving Goal States of Technical System Workflows and Checking Them Through System Simulation or System Hardware Execution.”

The invention describes a process for planning operations in a technical-system workflow. It specifies a workflow-related planning domain and goal state, defines a planning task, and uses a planning approach to iteratively check operator executions until a complete plan is found. A secondary query loop then checks executions of that plan until the goal state is achieved. The checks may use system simulation or execution on system hardware.

Career Highlights

Schürmann’s listed patent reflects work on structured planning and verification for technical workflows. By combining hierarchical planning with iterative checks, the method aims to determine whether a sequence of operations can achieve a specified system state.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Siemens Aktiengesellschaft as Schürmann’s company and names Bernd Kast and Frederik Deroo as coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or describe particular collaborative contributions.

Conclusion

Bastian Schürmann’s listed invention focuses on planning and validating operation sequences for technical systems, linking hierarchical planning with iterative verification of goal-state achievement.
