WORKSWORLD: A Domain for Integrated Numeric Planning and Scheduling of Distributed Pipelined Workflows

Paul & Regli (2026). Introduces a new benchmark domain modelling the joint planning and scheduling of distributed data pipelines — a problem class that matters enormously for real infrastructure but has been under-represented in AI planning research. State-of-the-art numeric planners can solve chains of up to 14 components across 8 sites in under an hour.
