– poly-time– real values– cuts – conflict sets

– fast in practice– disjunction– learning– conflict-directed search

LPSAT

• Applications– metric planning– temporal planning– conditional constraint solving

• Work so far– LiPSyNC metric planning compiler– Prototype temporal planning compiler

LPSAT: Help WantedWANTED: Student interested inimplementing efficient new metric andtemporal planning compilers andincorporating new research ideas intoexisting LPSAT system. Student shouldbe motivated and ready to work 10-15hours per week and meet April deadlinefor planning competition. Credit andfunding available to qualified applicants.E-mail [email protected] formore info.
