This paper explores opportunities for synergy between theoretical and applied researchers in the area of automated planning. From the diiering perspectives of theorists, experimentalists, and practitioners, we examine the causes of current dissatisfaction with existing theoretical and experimental results. We survey approaches from theoretical computer science that provide alternatives to the s...
