Abstract

We introduce a new approach to planning in STRIPS-like domains based on an incremental local search process. This approach arises as an attempt to combine the advantages of a graph-based analysis and a partial-order planner. The search process is carried out by a four-stage algorithm. The starting point is a graph, which totally or partially encodes the planning problem. The aim of the second phase is to obtain a first set of actions of a solution plan, the third stage guarantees the completeness and optimality of the generated solution and the fourth stage, a partial-order planner, completes the process by finding the missing actions of the final solution plan, if any.
