Progression
Planning as first-order theorem proving (Green 1969)
computationally infeasible
STRIPS (Fikes & Nilsson 1971)
Partial-order planning (Tate 1977, McAllester 1991, Smith & Peot 1993)
can be more efficient, but still hard (Minton, Bresina, & Drummond 1994)
Proposal: planning as propositional reasoning
