Additional Downloads
The FF Planning System
FF is a planning system developed by Jörg Hoffmann that can solve planning tasks specified in the PDDL formalism. You can download ready-to-use versions for Linux (on a PC) or Solaris.
Alternatively, you can compile FF for another operating system or machine if you download the source package and follow the instructions in the README file. You will need a make tool, a C compiler such as gcc, a parser generator such as yacc or bison, and a lexical analyzer generater such as lex or flex.
To solve planning tasks with FF, you need a domain specification file (e.g. domain.pddl), which defines the predicates and operators of the planning domain, and a problem specification file (e.g. problem.pddl), which defines the objects, initial state and goal states of the planning task. FF is run with the command ./ff -o domain.pddl -f problem.pddl. The solution is printed to screen and to a file named problem.pddl.soln.
