One motivation for automated planning is very practical: designing information processing tools that give access to affordable and efficient planning resources.
The increasing availability of streaming data has accelerated advances in information processing tools that no longer store data for static querying but push information to consumers as soon as it becomes available.
An effort was made to recruit primarily biologists who were not focused on bioinformatics, as people who study information processing tools may have different attitudes towards them than those who focus on the sciences.
As a result, a long-term solution to the scientific data integration issue requires formally validated and automated information processing tools.
Because GIS is a data processing tool, tools that provide or record information, such as digital elevation model (DEM), topographic surveys, land use and land cover maps, can be dealt within the GIS environment (Maidment 2002).
Supported quality data processing defines processing, which can be performed with a specific data processing tool.
Informatic data processing tools were used.
In the case of procedural knowledge, some agents relate data (e.g., sensory or memorized information) to their processing tools (e.g., motor actions).
