Abstract
In Chapter 4, we extended classical planning to variables that are numeric in nature. In this chapter, we extend classical planning in an orthogonal way, through the introduction of time. In temporal planning, actions are durative in nature, and both the conditions and effects of an action must be generalised accordingly. Temporal planning was introduced into PDDL with the 2002 IPC, although of course there were temporal planners long before that [e.g., Ghallab and Laruelle, 1994, Muscettola, 1994, Penberthy and Weld, 1994, Smith and Weld, 1999, Vere, 1983, to name just a few] and the majority of this chapter follows the definition of PDDL version 2.1 [Fox and Long, 2003].
