Abstract

In this chapter we describe the main pillars of the Planning.Domains initiative (API, Solver, Editor, and Education), detail some of the current use-cases for them, and outline the future path of the initiative. We further dive into some of the most recent developments of Planning.Domains, and shed light on what is next for the platform.

    This is, in fact, already in place for the (potentially anonymous) submission of new incumbent plans.

  6. 6.

    It is not recommended to submit this to an IPC, as it violates many of the rules for entered planners, and the spirit of the contest itself.
