Tamer is a temporal planner, that is a tool for automatically generating a course of actions to reach a desired objective given a formal model of a system (e.g. a robot) subject to temporal constraints. For example, temporal planning can be used to automatically synthesize the work-plan of a factory given a formal model of what the various machines can do and the available workforce.

The AIPlan4EU project developed a Unified Planning Framework to simplify the use and interfacing of various kinds of planning techniques, including temporal planning. This asset encompasses the code needed to connect the tamer planner with the Unified Planning Framework, thus using tamer as one of the possible solution engines within the UPF.
