Some time ago I posted a query for the state of the STRIPS model.
Several people took time to reply.  Thanks to you all.  Here's
the references.


Happy Holidays!!!

The PRODIGY system here at CMU is a recent derivative of STRIPS.
Its mostly used as a testbed for machine learning research by 
various people (e.g. see my article in IJCAI87), 
but the problem solver itself has some
advances that are interesting. We've just about finished a manual
for the system, and will be releasing it for external use within
the next month or two. Let me know if you are interested.

A recent paper by David Chapman (AIJ v32 #3 July 87) gives a good
overview of planning research.
