Abstract

In this paper we present tasplan, a complete planner for temporal logic programs. The planner receives a planning specification as input, having the form of a temporal ASP program, and obtains as output one or several alternative (shortest) plans, if the problem is solvable, or answers that no solution exists, otherwise. The tool allows different search strategies, including informed search algorithms if the user defines a domain-dependent heuristics with additional program rules.

Notes

  1. 1.

    An interesting topic for future study would be determining integer bounds for the required number of steps n to obtain a plan.
