Call for Domains
If you would like to design a domain for the competition please contact either Lukas Chrpa (l.chrpa at hud.ac.uk) or Mauro Vallati (m.vallati at hud.ac.uk) with the following information:
- Domain file
- Problem generator for the domain
- Domain form (see below)
We encourage the submission of domain models that include features such as negative preconditions and/or conditional effects.
While not necessary, it is also desirable for the domains to be related to real applications. Moreover, if a domain-dependent planner for the submitted domain is available, please include it in the submission.
Only one entry per participating team will be allowed. The organizers will consider all submissions and select the highest quality subset to be included. The organizers are aware that participants that submit a domain that is used have some advantage with respect to performance on that domain. We view this as a good incentive for teams to submit high quality proposals.
Please, keep in mind that the current deadline for the Call for Domains is next November, 15, 2013.
Domain form
When submitting a new domain, please fulfill the following domain form:
(1) Name and email address of the contact person
(2) Brief description of domain and problems
(3) Comments about the ability to easily scale problem difficulty
(4) Comments about why the domain is particularly interesting for the deterministic track
Note that item 4) is particularly important since there are likely domain features that are interesting that have not been considered in previous competitions.
When possible, it would be good to provide bibliographical references discussing the domains suggested.
