Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Experiments illustrating the computational value of planning with more expressive languages are also reported. 5 Experimental Results We test the FS planner on some FSTRIPS domains using the hc FF heuristic and compare it to standard planners on equivalent PDDL models.

Pseudocode No No pseudocode or algorithm blocks were found.
Open Source Code Yes FS s source code and all problem encodings are available on gfrances.github.io/pubs.
Open Datasets No The paper describes problem 'domains' (e.g., COUNTERS, GROUPING) and mentions testing instances, but does not provide concrete access information (link, DOI, repository, or formal citation with author/year) for publicly available datasets used in the experiments.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not provide specific details on training, validation, and test dataset splits (e.g., exact percentages or sample counts) for reproducibility.
Hardware Specification Yes All planners run a maximum of 30 min. on a cluster with AMD Opteron 6300@2.4Ghz nodes, and are allowed up to 8GB of memory.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'the standard Gecode CP solver [Gecode Team, 2006]' but does not provide a specific version number for it or other software dependencies.
Experiment Setup Yes FS can use any of the four lifted RPG heuristics, hmax, and hc FF, to drive a plain greedy best first search. We run FF [Hoffmann and Nebel, 2001] and Metric-FF [Hoffmann, 2003], the latter on encodings with numeric fluents if suitable, using the same greedy best-first search strategy (i.e. f(n) = h(n) and EHC disabled). We also run the state-of-the-art Fast-Downward planner (LAMA-2011 configuration)...
