The Peaks and Valleys of ALPS: an Adaptive Learning and Planning System for Transportation Scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ALPS (Adaptive Learning and Planning System) project is a three-year effort to design and prototype a next-generation adaptive planning architecture as part of the ARPA / Rome Laboratory Planning Initiative (ARPI). ALPS is being used.within the Planning Initiative to perform large-scale military transportation scheduling, taking a Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD) file with thousands of cargo requests and assigning those cargos to particular transportation resources with specific embarkation and debarkation times. This paper presents the architectural design of ALPS, discusses the innovative techniques incorporated in the system, and describes the lessons learned in applying the system to the problem of transportation scheduling.

The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...
