An Automatically Configurable Portfolio-based Planner with Macro-actions: PbP

The field of automated plan generation has recently significantly advanced. However, while several powerful domainindependent PbP has two variants: PbP.s focusing on speed, and planners have been developed, no one of these PbP.q focusing on plan quality. PbP.s entered the learning clearly outperforms all the others in every known benchmark track of the sixth international planning competition (IPC6), domain. It would then be useful to have a multi-planner system and was the overall winner of this competition track (Fern, that automatically selects and combines the most efficient Khardon and Tadepalli 2008). The paper includes some experimental planner(s) for each given domain.
