The previous PLANET Summer School on AI Planning in 2000 was a great
success. It said
Domain independent planning is a thriving area of research in
both Europe and the US, encompassing an increasingly diverse
range of techniques and approaches. Although domain
independent planning has been a lively area of academic
research for many years, the resulting technology has had few
large scale applications in the industrial and commercial
sectors. An important barrier to their use has been the need
to acquire planning expertise before it is possible to be an
effective user.
That remains true, so in 2002 there will be another summer school,
similar in structure but covering different topics from all parts of
planning.
