Global Scripting Environment and Object Models

[AdamSobieski]

This issue is about a global scripting environment and object models for scripting in a planning domain definition language. Resembling HTML, markup-based domain planning definition languages could provide scripting via <script> elements.

The Web platform provides scripts in HTML documents with a broad and intricate global scripting environment. Amongst these API’s, there is the popular document object model which allows documents’ scripts to do things including to modify documents’ structures at runtime.

The Web platform provides a number of global objects including window and document.

Ideas for a global scripting environment and object models for automated planning and scheduling include a solver API and a domain object model. With respect to a solver API, should it be possible for a script to invoke a solver for it to solve sub-problems?

Which features should a global scripting environment provide for the scripts of domains, types, objects, predicates, operators, actions, constraints, and preferences? Which object models and interfaces should the group design?
