                      PROBABILISTIC TRACKS

======================================================================


If you would like to design a domain for the probabilistic tracks of the
competition please contact us as soon as possible
(ipc2018-probabilistic-organizers@googlegroups.com). We will collaborate
in adapting the domains to suit the IPC, but we ask you to think about:
  - the ability to easily scale problem difficulty
  - whether the domain is probabilistically interesting

While not necessary, it is desirable for the domains to be related to
real applications. Moreover, if a domain-dependent planner for the
submitted domain is available, please include it in the submission.

It does not matter if your domain is encoded in RDDL or PPDDL (or even
just a plain text description), we will make sure to translate it if
necessary. For information on the supported language features, please
consult the website at https://ipc2018-probabilistic.bitbucket.io/.
However, as we offer a wide variety of tracks, it is highly unlikely
that your domain cannot be used in any track.

We will consider all submissions and select the highest quality subset
to be included. We are aware that participants that submit a domain
that is used have some advantage with respect to performance on that
domain. We view this as a good incentive for teams to submit high
quality proposals.

If you have a domain in mind but have doubts whether it would be
appropriate for the IPC, please do not hesitate to contact us!
