Recently, Pure-Past Temporal Logic (PPLTL) has proven highly effective in specifying temporally extended goals in deterministic planning domains. In this paper, we show its effectiveness also for fully observable nondeterministic (FOND) planning, both for strong and strong-cyclic plans. We present a notably simple encoding of FOND planning for PPLTL goals into standard FOND planning for final-state goals. The encoding only introduces few fluents (at most linear in the PPLTL goal) without adding any spurious action and allows planners to lazily build the relevant part of the deterministic automaton for the goal formula on-the-fly during the search. We formally prove its correctness, implement it in a tool called Plan4Past, and experimentally show its practical effectiveness.

Abstract
Recently, Pure-Past Temporal Logic (PPLTL) has proven highly effective in specifying temporally extended goals in deterministic planning domains. In this paper, we show its effectiveness also for fully observable nondeterministic (FOND) planning, both for strong and strong-cyclic plans. We present a notably simple encoding of FOND planning for PPLTL goals into standard FOND planning for final-state goals. The encoding only introduces few fluents (at most linear in the PPLTL goal) without adding any spurious action and allows planners to lazily build the relevant part of the deterministic automaton for the goal formula on-the-fly during the search. We formally prove its correctness, implement it in a tool called Plan4Past, and experimentally show its practical effectiveness.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
