I recently attended AAMAS 2019, arguably the premier conference for new research on agent-based systems. My contribution to this conference comes in the form of an invited tutorial (on pathfinding), which I gave together with Nathan Sturtevant and Sven Koenig. In case you don’t know them, Nathan and Sven are two of the leading researchers in the area of Heuristic Search. Their papers and presentations are a highlight at any academic conference and I was fortunate to join them on this occasion.

The tutorial website is here. It features material from all presenters and a number of really nice interactive demos due to Nathan — including one on Jump Point Search. How cool is that?!

For convenience, I make my own slide deck available here (the sections were presented disjointly — they do not follow one another!).
