Abstract
One approach to optimal planning is to first start with a sub-optimal solution as a seed plan, and then iteratively search for shorter plans. This approach inevitably leads to an increase in the size of the model to be solved.We introduce a reformulation of the planning problem in which the problem is described as a meta-CSP, which controls the search of an underlying SAT solver. Our results show that this approach solves a greater number of problems than both Maxplan and Blackbox, and our analysis discusses the advantages and disadvantages of searching in the backwards direction.
