Solving planning problems via translation to satisfiability (SAT) is one of the most successful approaches to automated planning. We propose a new encoding scheme, called Reinforced Encoding, which encodes a planning problem represented in the SAS+ formalism into SAT. The Reinforced Encoding is a combination of the transition-based SASE encoding with the classical propositional encoding. In our experiments we compare our new encoding to other known SAS+ based encodings. The results indicate, that he Reinforced encoding performs well on the benchmark problems of the 2011 International Planning Competition and can outperform all the other known encodings for several domains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
