Code and data for the SOCS 2022 paper "On Bidirectional Heuristic Search in Classical Planning: An Analysis of BAE*"

Code

The file hu-speck-socs2022-code.zip contains an extended version of the Fast Downward planning system (http://fast-downward.org), which can be used to perform A*, Backward A* and BAE*, and Symk (https://github.com/speckdavid/symk), which can be used to perform symbolic blind search. Please see http://www.fast-downward.org and https://github.com/speckdavid/symk for detailed instructions on how to compile the planners. The detailed calls for all configurations can be found in the file hu-speck-socs2022-reports.zip.

Benchmarks

The file hu-speck-socs2022-benchmarks.zip contains the STRIPS PDDL benchmarks from sequential optimization tracks of IPC 1998-2018.

Experiment data

The remaining zipfiles contain the raw experiment data, parsed values, scripts and basic reports for the experiments in the paper.
