"Blackbox is a planning system that works by converting problems
specified in STRIPS notation into Boolean satisfiability problems, and
then solving the problems with a variety of state-of-the-art
satisfiability engines. The front-end employs the graphplan system (Blum
and Furst 1995). There is extreme flexibility in specifying the engines
to use. For example, you can tell it to use walksat (Selman, Kautz, and
Cohen 1994) for 60 seconds, and if that fails, then satz (Li and
Anbulagan 1997) for 1000 seconds. This gives blackbox the capability of
functioning efficiently over a broad range of problems. The name
blackbox refers to the fact that the plan generator knows nothing about
the SAT solvers, and the SAT solvers know nothing about plans: each is a
"black box" to the other."
