Register your interest to participate by Dec. 1st by sending email to ssanner@gmail.com & sungwook.yoon@gmail.com =================================================================== Uncertainty Track of the 2011 International Planning Competition Call for Participation http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~ssanner/IPPC_2011/ =================================================================== The Uncertainty Track of the 2011 International Planning Competition will use a new language this year --- RDDL http://rddlsim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/RDDL.pdf and will support the following tracks conditional on sufficient participation: (1) MDP, Boolean fluents (2) MDP, General fluents (boolean, int, real) (3) POMDP, Boolean fluents (4) POMDP, General fluents (boolean, int, real) The RDDL language supports unrestricted concurrency and we will run an additional *concurrent version* of the above tracks if we have enough interest from participants. We will provide translations of RDDL competition domains to the following languages if there is sufficient demand from participants (see IPPC web page for links to the following language descriptions): (a) PPDDL (MDP, boolean fluents, non-concurrent only; translation will necessarily be fully gounded) (b) SPUDD (MDP, boolean fluents, non-concurrent only) (c) Symbolic Perseus (POMDP, boolean fluents, non-concurrent only) (d) Cassandra Format (POMDP, boolean fluents, non-concurrent only) If you want to participate, you must register your interest by Dec 1st by sending email to ssanner@gmail.com & sungwook.yoon@gmail.com; in this email, please indicate: - In which tracks you wish to participate [(1)--(4)] - Whether your planner will support concurrency [yes, no] - What language you wish to use [RDDL, (a)--(d), other?] - What language your planner will use [Java, C, C++, ...] The tentative schedule is to run a preliminary test round in February 2011 and a final competition round in March 2011. Participants will login to the competition server to execute their clients. We strongly encourage participants to publish their planner code, but do not require this. More details, a link to the IPPC 2011 mailing list (where we ask that you post your questions), and links to the RDDL simulator, tools, source code, and examples can be found here: http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~ssanner/IPPC_2011/ With a set of new domains made possible by RDDL, we're looking forward to an exciting competition this year! Cheers, Scott Sanner & Sungwook Yoon (Organizers)
