Abstract:
The contrast between domain dependent and domain independent planning shares several characteristics with the contrast between interpreted and compiled programming languages. This observation has inspired an effort to construct a compiler for declarative plamfing domain descriptions which produces the code for a plamler within the target domain. Thus, domain independent planning advantages are combined with the efficiency of domain-dependent code. The compilation procedure is described, together with the target abstract machine and the process by which it is implemented in C++ and a brief sunnnary of results is provided.
