We report on the staging of the third competition on knowledge engineering for AI planning and scheduling systems, held during ICAPS‐09 at Thessaloniki, Greece, in September 2009. We give an overview of how the competition has developed since its first run in 2005 and its relationship with the AI planning field. This run of the competition focused on translators that, when input with some formal description in an application‐area‐specific language, output solver‐ready domain models. Despite a fairly narrow focus within knowledge engineering, seven teams took part in what turned out to be a very interesting and successful competition.
