In SAT-based planning, optimality can be traded for efficiency and scalability. One approach to this is to plan using a relaxed encoding of the corresponding decision problems. Another approach is to adopt a sub-optimal query strategy – e.g. avoid solving...
The Eighteenth International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling Doctoral Consortium - September 2008
John Thornton, Duc Nghia Pham
Although clause weighting local search algorithms have produced some of the best results on a range of challenging satisfiability (SAT) benchmarks, this performance is dependent on the careful hand-tuning of sensitive parameters. When such hand-tuning is ...
The Tenth Pacific Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence - December 2008
Blai Bonet, Patrik Haslum, Sarah Hickmott, Sylvie Thiebaux
The key to efficient on-the-fly reachability analysis based on unfolding is to focus the expansion of the finite prefix towards the desired marking. However, current unfolding strategies typically equate to blind (breadth-first) search. They do not ...
Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency - December 2008
Patrik Haslum
We describe a restricted class of planning problems and polynomial time membership and plan existence decision algorithms for this class. The definition of the problem class is based on a graph representation of planning problems, similar to Petri nets...

The International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling - September 2008
In the planning-as-SAT paradigm there have been numerous recent developments towards improving the speed and scalability of planning at the cost of finding a step-optimal parallel plan. These developments have been towards: (1) Query strategies that ...
The Eighteenth International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling - September 2008
Recent times have seen the development of planners that exploit advances in SAT(isfiability) solving technology to achieve good performance. In that spirit we develop the approximate contingent planner PSLSPLAN. Our approach is based on local search for ...
The Eighteenth International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling workshop on A Reality Check for Planning and Scheduling Under Uncertainty - September 2008
Duc Nghia Pham, John Thornton, Abdul Sattar
Despite significant improvements over the last two decades, local search techniques still struggle to compete with the best systematic methods when solving highly structured real-world satisfiability (SAT) problems. Recent work has successfully employed a...
The Twenty-Third National Conference on Artificial Intelligence - July 2008
Duc Nghia Pham, John Thornton, Charles Gretton, Abdul Sattar
In this paper we describe a stochastic local search (SLS) procedure for finding \Omit{satisfying }models of satisfiable propositional formulae. This new algorithm, gNovelty$^+$, draws on the features of two other WalkSAT family algorithms: AdaptNovelty...
