title: What are practical applications of the AO* algorithm?
body: <p>Those who have worked or working in artificial intelligence(or equivalent) area should be knowing the AO* algorithm very well.</p>
  
  <p>Its pretty clear that it is a generalized algorithm.</p>
  
  <p>Do anybody of you have come across any practical application of the AO* algorithm?Some of you might already have worked on it.</p>
  
  <p>So it would be great if you can share your thoughts or experience on AO* algorithm, how it can actually be used practically. what is the power of it?</p>
  
  <p>Those who don't know the AO* algorithm, can refer following pdf (size -291 KB)</p>
