AIPS 2000 featured the second AI planning systems competition. 15 teams competed and the results were presented at the AIPS 2000 conference.
· CelCorp the Cel Corporation supplied prizes for those planning systems that demonstrated exceptional performance. (See the presentation below a list of the prize winner).
· Franz Inc. provided the competition with a free version of their Allegro CL 5.0.1 common lisp development system. This system was used by some of the compeditors.
· Schindler Lifts Ltd. provided prizes for performance on the Miconic-10 elevator control domain. They also made the domain publicly available so that it could be used in the competition.

Here is a document containing a description of the planning systems (contributed by the participants).
Here is a PowerPoint presentation describing some of the results of the competition.
Here is a version of the presentation in postscript. It is in colour postscript and seems to display ok with ghostview on a colour monitor, but I didn’t try printing it: black and white makes the graphs useless.
Here is the detailed data files that arose from the competition. Two formats are available, a gzipped tar file, and a zip file. Warning, these data files unpack to about 60MB. They contain the full set of domain specifications and problems used in the competition, and the full set of plans and timings generated by the competitors in solving these problems (there was a 30min CPU time limit on each problem---missing datapoints exceeded this limit). Unpack them and examine the README files in the various sub-directories. Most of the timings were generated on a 500Mhz Pentium III machine running Linux, the machine had 1GB or RAM. The only exception is the Schindler Miconic elevator control domain, this domain was run on-site at the conference on a set of 450Mhz Pentium III machines each having 256MB.
