this "work in progress" attempts
to survey the breadth of the classical planners and problems since the
inception of the International Planning Competitions. We have also put
together accompanying repositories of the Planners and Problems
referred to in the catalog; please email Mark if you are interested in
the repositories. |

this paper represents a brief
literature review of recent portfolio algorithms. It was the written
portion of a Research Exam in which I reviewed 10 recent portfolio
papers. This document has been incorporated into the more extensive
literature review for my forthcoming Dissertation proposal. |
