Instructions to Test the Probabilistic Planner PACplan:
--------------------------------------------------------

a) Downloading and Compiling pacplanv1.2
   1.- Download the compressed file pacplan1.2.tgz containing the 
       PACplan source code from http://scalab.uc3m.es/~sjimenez/software.html
   2.- Extract the compressed file pacplan1.2.tgz (tar -xzvf pacplan1.2.tgz)
   3.- Compile the source files to get the executable file './pac_plan'
   4.- Run the planner "./pacplan -o domains/blocksworld/prob01.pddl -f prob01 -m quality -l 1"
   5.- For brief information on how to run the planner "./pacplan --h"
   6.- The 'domains' directory contains the domains from the probabilistic track of the IPC5 to test the planner

b) Integrating the pacplanv1.2 with the IPC5 PPDDL evaluation simulator
   1.- Download the PPDDL evaluation simulator mdpsim-1.23.tar.gz from http://www.ldc.usb.ve/~bonet/ipc5/
   2.- Extract the file mdpsim-1.23.tar.gz (tar -xzvf mdpsim-1.23.tar.gz)
   3.- Replace mdpclient.cc with the mdpclient.cc file from http://scalab.uc3m.es/~sjimenez/software.html
   4.- Replace client.cc with the client.cc file from http://scalab.uc3m.es/~sjimenez/software.html
   5.- Replace predicates.h with the predicates.h file from http://scalab.uc3m.es/~sjimenez/software.html
   6.- Compile the source files to get the executable files  ./mdpclient and ./mdpsim
   7.- Copy the executable file previously generated ./pacplan in the '/mdpsim-1.23' directory
   8.- Copy the planner directory ./fragility-ff from pacplan1.2.tgz in the'/mdpsim-1.23' directory
   9.- Run the evaluation simulator
   10.- The results of the evaluation are in the logs directory


*********************************
*  Important Information        * 
*********************************
By the time being, you can test this version of pacplan in the following probabilistic domains from the IPC5:

+ blocksworld
+ elevators
+ ex-blocksworld
+ random
+ reward-blocksworld
+ schedule
+ zenotravel
+ tree

To check if pacplan can solve problems in other domains ask Sergio Jiménez Celorrio: sjimenez@inf.uc3m.es
