Preface

The European Conferences on Planning (ECP) are a major forum for the presentation of new research in Artificial Intelligence Planning and Scheduling. They developed from a series of European workshops and became successfully established as international meetings. Previous conferences took place in St. Augustin (Germany) in 1991, Vadstena (Sweden) in 1993, Assisi (Italy) in 1995, and Toulouse (France) in 1997. ECP-99 was held in Durham, United Kingdom. The conference received submissions from all over Europe, from the US, Canada, South America, and New Zealand. This volume contains the 27 papers that were presented at the conference. They cover a variety of aspects in current AI Planning and Scheduling. Several prominent planning paradigms are represented, including planning as satisfiability and other model checking strategies, planning a
