This paper explores the use of an oft-ignored information source in heuristic search: a search-distance-to-go estimate. Operators frequently have different costs and cost-to-go is...
Explaining policies of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) is complicated due to their probabilistic and sequential nature. We present a technique to explain policies for factored MD...
The growing presence of household robots in inhabited environments arises the need for new robot task planning techniques. These techniques should take into consideration not only...

Planning systems for real-world applications need the ability to handle concurrency and numeric fluents. Nevertheless, the predominant approach to cope with concurrency followed b...
Recently, Helmert and Geffner proposed the context-enhanced additive heuristic, where fact costs are evaluated relative to context states that arise from achieving first a pivot c...
The FF relaxed plan heuristic is one of the most effective techniques in domain-independent satisficing planning and is used by many state-of-the-art heuristic-search planners. Ho...
The ability to automatically compose Web Services is critical for realising more complex functionalities. Several proposals to use automated planning to deal with the problem of s...
This paper describes a novel and competitive complete conformant planner. Key to the enhanced performance is an efficient encoding of belief states as disjunctive normal form form...
We define the robustness of a sequential plan as the probability that it will execute successfully despite uncertainty in the execution environment. We consider a rich notion of u...
