1. In a computing environment, a system, comprising:

  • an authoring tool, implemented on at least one processor, configured to allow one or more authors from among crowd contributors to author a model containing one or more of the following;

    rules, constraints, and equations, the model configured to;

    generate a plan comprising plan objects; and

    obtain the plan objects for the plan based on one or more of the following;

    the rules, the constraints, and the equations; and

    a presentation mechanism configured to produce an interactive presentation of the plan to a first user based upon the plan objects generated by the model;

    an interaction mechanism configured to allow one or more changes to the plan objects during the interactive presentation of the plan, wherein interaction with one or more of the plan objects during the interactive presentation prompts the authoring tool to generate a new model; and

    a search mechanism configured to locate the new model for a second user;

    wherein the authoring tool is further configured to generate a second plan from the new model based upon the new model and input from the second user; and

    wherein the presentation mechanism is further configured to produce a second interactive presentation from the second plan for presenting to the second user.
