Abstract

Planning technology has made huge strides, alongside other combinatorial optimisation solving technologies, over the past decade. Automated planning systems now exist for temporal and metric problems, including management of continuous time and concurrency, continuous numeric resources and action costs [3,1,2,12,7,8,11,9]. There is an increasing interest in combining planners with specialised solvers, such as optimisation alogorithms, to achieve a hybrid form of planning. In this context, the relationship between planning and model-checking, planning and constraint-solving and planning and control are all being clarified.

Thanks to my generous collaborators and co-authors who have contributed to this work.
