OPTIC ----- This package contains OPTIC, a planner for use in problems where plan cost is determined by preferences or time-dependent goal-collection costs. For more details, see the paper "Temporal Planning with Preferences and Time-Dependent Continuous Costs", J. Benton, A. J. Coles, and A. I. Coles, ICAPS 2012. OPTIC is derived from the planner POPF. In the interests of developing a single, capable planner, the sources here also contain the TIL-abstraction extension of POPF described in the paper "Automated Planning for Liner Shipping Fleet Repositioning", K. Tierney, A. J. Coles, A. I. Coles, C. Kroer, A. Britt, and R. M. Jensen, ICAPS 2012. This can be invoked with an extra command line flag (details below). Build Prerequisites ------------------- In order to function, OPTIC requires either CLP or CPLEX: - If you wish to use OPTIC in problems with Preferences or in which TIL abstraction is used, you will need CPLEX. For academic use, CPLEX can be obtained for free via the IBM Academic Initiative. - In other cases, CLP should suffice, and is generally faster. In both cases, you also need: - cmake - perl, bison and flex (used to build the parser) Packages of these are available for most linux distributions. For Ubuntu, the following should install CLP and the other build pre-requisites: sudo apt-get install cmake coinor-libcbc-dev coinor-libclp-dev \ coinor-libcoinutils-dev libbz2-dev bison flex Compiling --------- Compilation is in two stages: 1) Configure Run one of: run-cmake-debug, if you want to link against CLP, with debugging enabled run-cmake-for-cplex-debug-x86, if you want to link against CLP and/or CPLEX, with debugging enabled. It assumes you are using the 32-bit version of CPLEX, on Linux - if this is not the case, edit the script. run-cmake-release, if you want to link against CLP, with debugging disabled, and producing a non-static binary. run-cmake-static, if you want to link against CLP, with debugging disabled, and producing a statically linked binary run-cmake-for-cplex-static-x86, if you want to link against CLP and/or CPLEX, and producing a statically linked binary. It assumes you are using the 32-bit version of CPLEX, on Linux - if this is not the case, edit the script. Note that if you want to make static binaries with CLP, you must have static versions of the CLP libraries installed. This may mean downloading and compiling CBC from source, making sure it makes static (not shared) libraries. The advantage is that the binary produced does not require CLP to be installed at run-time, which can be useful when running it on different machines. *Users of 64-bit Machines*: it is almost certainly not worth compiling OPTIC in 64-bit mode. To force 32-bit compilation, before running one of the scripts above, type: export CFLAGS=-m32 export CXXFLAGS=-m32 export LDFLAGS=-m32 In 32-bit mode, OPTIC it is limited by the number of states it can store in 4GB of memory. To be able to store more states than this, with a 64-bit binary, considerably more memory is required, as e.g. ints and pointers are twice the size. (If you do have considerably more memory, then of course, feel free to try.) 2) Build If you ran one of the run-*-debug scripts, now run: ./build-debugging If you ran run-cmake-release, now run: ./build-release If you ran one of the run-*-static scripts, now run: ./build-static In all three cases, the binaries produced will be called optic-clp and/or optic-cplex, and they will be located in either debug/optic, release/optic or static/optic, respectively. Running ------- Once compiled, run, e.g.: optic-cplex domain.pddl problem.pddl This runs OPTIC on the given domain and problem file, carrying on search after the first solution in an attempt to optimise quality. If you want to ignore solution costs and stop after the first solution, run: optic-cplex -N domain.pddl problem.pddl Or, if you have an upper-bound on plan cost, run: optic-cplex -n<bound> domain.pddl problem.pddl This is mainly useful if you want, as a first-pass, to search ignoring preferences: run with -N, to get a plan with cost <bound>; then run with -n<bound> to carry on searching. To enable TIL abstraction, add the command-line option '-0', e.g.: optic-cplex -0 domain.pddl problem.pddl On domains without preferences, and where TIL-abstraction is not enabled. it is usually faster to use optic-clp instead of optic-cplex. It is run in the same way, e.g.: optic-clp domain.pddl problem.pddl If you wish to insist that each solution has to be at least 10 better than the last found, run: optic-clp '->10' domain.pddl problem.pddl Note that the planner does not, itself, limit its time and/or memory usage. Apply these by using the relevant shell commands beforehand, e.g.: bash ulimit -t 1800 ulimit -v 4000000 ./optic-clp domain.pddl problem.pddl ...will limit the planner to 30 minutes of CPU and 4GiB of memory. Feedback -------- If you do something exciting with OPTIC, do let us know. If you tried to do something with it, but it failed, you may have found a bug. In common with POPF, the three most likely sources of bugs are: The three most common causes of bugs (over 90% of bug reports) are: - Using ADL. ADL is supported in the conditions of preferences, in the time-dependent costs of goal-collection actions, and one or two other niche cases. We've attempted to make the planner degrade gracefully, but there are still cases where it will report problems using ADL as being unsolvable. ** In particular check there are no negative preconditions in your domain. ** - Domain modelling bugs. OPTIC and POPF support the full start--end semantics of PDDL 2.1, and self-overlapping actions, so errors in the temporal placement of preconditions and effects (at start, at end etc.) are more likely to cause issues with POPF than with other planners. For instance, if a 'move' action is written (erroneously) as deleting the old location at the end (rather than at the start), then OPTIC/POPF will consider concurrent move actions for the same vehicle; whereas planners which do not make as clear a distinction between the start and end-points of durative actions would not consider this. Thus, in domains with errors such as this, they might have to consider a far larger search space than other temporal planners. - If the plans don't validate, ensure you are passing the '-t 0.001' flag to VAL: the planner uses an epsilon value of 0.001, smaller than the default 0.01 value used in VAL. If none of those apply, email as small a possible domain and problem file that cause the error you're observing to Andrew Coles: [email protected] Licence ------- OPTIC is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
