Final remarks

There are two fundamental ways this system can be used:

1. As a planner: User can write domain descriptions in the language, pose goals to generate plans. Ideally, the system can be used as a sub-module for a robot or a software intelligent agent. For a realistic application the planner needs to be modified to prune search space (specially redundant computation due to revisits to the same situation).

2. As a platform for based action description languages: Recently, there has been a tremendous amount of language extensions to include, concurrency, narratives, ramification constraints, temporal queries, defeasible actions, etc. Our hopes is that our system will encourage researchers in the field to test their technical ideas by modifying our planner to include such extensions.

Comments and suggestion to improve the code are welcome. You can write directly to me at jorge@eecs.uic.edu.
