KeeN is a Knowledge Engineering ENvironment for Timeline-based Planning (DDL.3 language). It is based on the Eclipse platform and is meant to ease the developing of planning domains and problems, both using the traditional features that are expected from a modern Integrated Development Environment and through the graphical modeling of domains by the means of diagrams.
KeeN supports the so-called Round-trip Engineering, permitting the developers to employ the diagram environment also to edit existing code, and in general enabling them to seamlessly switch between the code-based and diagram-based views without loss of information.
The environment can make use of existing planners to help the developers test their solution; moreover, it supports Domain Validation and Plan Verification through the integration of existing code and tools that were realized as a consequence of recent research in the area.
KeeN was developed by Giulio Bernardi at the Planning and Scheduling Technology Laboratory. It should be considered alpha quality software. It is Open Source software released under the Eclipse Public License.
