PDDL support questionnaire
When submitting your planner, remember to send us an email that includes answers to the following questions.
- If you submit several planners or planner versions, please fill in one copy of the questionnaire for each. If they are mostly identical, just copy-and-paste.
- You only need to fill in the questionnaire once per planner, not once per track. If your answers are different for the different tracks, please indicate. For example, your planner might support conditional effects only in the sequential tracks, but not in the temporal tracks.
General questions
- Name of planner: [Please fill in]
- Names of team members: [Please fill in]
Tracks
The planner is entered in the following tracks (please remove all options that don't apply; multiple answers possible):
- [The planner is entered in the sequential satisficing track.]
- [The planner is entered in the sequential optimal track.]
- [The planner is entered in the sequential agile track.]
- [The planner is entered in the sequential multicore track.]
- [The planner is entered in the temporal satisficing track.]
- [The planner is entered in the temporal optimal track.]
- [The planner is entered in the preferences satisficing track.]
- [The planner is entered in the preferences optimal track.]
Features
The planner supports object fluents in the following way (please remove all options apart from the one that applies):
- [The planner only supports predicate representations, no object fluent representations.]
- [The planner only supports object fluent representations, no predicate representations.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and predicate representations are preferred.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and object fluent representations are preferred.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and there is no preference for either.]
The planner supports PDDL types in the following way (please remove all options apart from the one that applies):
- [The planner only supports typed representations, no untyped representations.]
- [The planner only supports untyped representations, no typed representations.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and typed representations are preferred.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and untyped representations are preferred.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and there is no preference for either.]
The planner supports grounded representations in the following way (please remove all options apart from the one that applies):
- [The planner only supports representations with schematic operators, no grounded representations.]
- [The planner only supports grounded representations, no representations with schematic operators.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and representations with schematic operators are preferred.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and grounded representations are preferred.]
- [The planner supports both representations, and there is no preference for either.]
The planner supports the following optional features (please remove all options that don't apply; multiple answers possible):
- [The planner supports general ADL conditions (exists, forall, or, ...) in operators and goals.]
- [The planner supports universal effects (forall) in operators.]
- [The planner supports derived predicates.]
- [The planner supports none of these features.]
The planner supports numeric state variables in the following way (please remove the one that doesn't apply):
- [Numeric state variables are supported.]
- [Numeric state variables are not supported.]
Note that support for numeric state variables (beyond support of action costs) is not needed in the sequential tracks, and that numeric state variables are required in the temporal and preferences tracks. However, we expect some planners that don't support numeric state variables to be entered in the temporal and preferences tracks. (These planners will then score zero points in domains where numbers are necessary.)
The planner supports temporal planning in the following way (please remove all options apart from the one that applies):
- [Durative actions and timed initial literals are supported.]
- [Durative actions are supported, but timed initial literals are not.]
- [Temporal planning is not supported.]
Note that support for durative actions is not needed in the sequential tracks, and of course it is required in the temporal tracks. Durative actions are an optional feature in the preferences tracks. Negative preconditions and conditional effects are required for sequential tracks, but optional in preferences and temporal tracks.
