Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Symmetry-based merge-and-shrink.
Open Source Code No The paper mentions using third-party tools like 'Fast Downward planning system' and 'Bliss', but does not state that the code implementing their proposed factored symmetries or merging strategies is open-source or available.
Open Datasets No The paper mentions using "all optimal IPC benchmarks up to 2011", but it does not provide a specific link, DOI, or formal citation with author/year information to access these benchmarks directly.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not specify explicit training, validation, or test dataset splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or references to predefined splits).
Hardware Specification Yes Our experiments are performed on machines with Intel Xeon E5-2660 CPUs running at 2.2 GHz, using a time bound of 30 minutes and a memory bound of 2 GB per run.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'Fast Downward planner (Helmert 2006)' and 'Bliss (Junttila and Kaski 2007)' but does not provide specific version numbers for these software dependencies, which are necessary for reproduction.
Experiment Setup Yes Our experiments are performed on machines with Intel Xeon E5-2660 CPUs running at 2.2 GHz, using a time bound of 30 minutes and a memory bound of 2 GB per run. ... We limit the overall time budget for Bliss to T = 60 seconds... We focus on the shrinking strategy based on bisimulation B with limit N = 50000 for the maximal size of all transition systems during the merge-and-shrink computation.
