Abstract:
The Optiplan planning system is the first integer programming-based
planner that successfully participated in the international planning
competition. This engineering note describes the architecture of
Optiplan and provides the integer programming formulation that enabled
it to perform reasonably well in the competition. We also touch upon
some recent developments that make integer programming encodings
significantly more competitive.
