On December, the 4th, Pascal Bercher successfully defended his dissertation (supervisor: Prof. Biundo-Stephan) with the title "Hybrid Planning -- from Theory to Practice".

The dissertation Hybrid Planning - From Theory to Practice by Pascal Bercher is concerned with theoretical foundations of hybrid planning (formalization and complexity results) as well as aspects from practical application (How can hybrid planning problems be solved efficiently and optimal? Which new challenges arise from the practical application? How to address them?).
