Who uses Fast Downward?
The following list shows some of the uses that people have found for the Fast Downward and LAMA planners.
We have only just started collecting this list, so as of now it is very incomplete.
over-subscription planning (planning with soft goals)
- Emil Keyder and Héctor Geffner describe a technique for compiling away soft goals (á la the IPC-2008 net benefit track) and apply LAMA to the resulting problems. The LAMA-based planner performed drastically better than native over-subscription planners.
Reference: Keyder, E., & Geffner, H. (2009). Soft Goals Can Be Compiled Away. JAIR, 36, 547-556
finite-state controller synthesis
- Blai Bonet, Héctor Palacios and Héctor Geffner show how to solve control problems by compiling the problem of generating a memoryless or finite-state controller into a classical planning task. These classical planning tasks are then solved with LAMA or Satplan. (In their experiments, neither planner dominates the other.)

- TODO: Jörg mentioned some security tool that uses FF and LAMA as "automated hacking tools" for finding attack vectors. More details needed.
- TODO: Jörg and others use LAMA in an ECAI paper on cellular automata. More details needed.
