Resumen: Many planning domains have to deal with temporal features that can be expressed
using durations that are associated to actions. Unfortunately, the conservative model of
actions used in many existing temporal planners is not adequate for domains which require
more expressive models. This paper presents a temporal planning approach that combines
the principles of Graphplan and TGP and uses the information calculated in the planning
graph to deal with a non-conservative model of actions that include local conditions and
e ects. In this approach, we propose two strategies for search. The rst one is based on the
Graphplan backward search. The second one is based on a least-commitment and heuristic
search, and it attempts to overcome the main limitations of a chronological backtracking
search when dealing with large temporal problems. This search has proved to be bene cial
in the scalability of the planner and the experiments show that a planner using this new
search is competitive with other state-of-the-art planners w.r.t. the plan quality
