Using Iterative Repair to Automate Planning and Scheduling of Shuttle Payload Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the DATA-CHASER Automated Planner/Scheduler (DCAPS) system for automated generation and repair of command sequences for the DATA-CHASER shuttle payload. DCAPS uses general Artificial Intelligence (AI) heuristic search techniques, including an iterative repair framework in which the system iteratively resolves conflicts with the state, resource, and temporal constraints of the payload activities. DCAPS was used in the operations of the shuttle payload for the STS-85 shuttle flight in August 1997 and enabled an 80% reduction in mission operations effort and a 40% increase in science return.

متن کاملScheduling and rescheduling with iterative repair
This paper describes the GERRY scheduling and rescheduling system being applied to coordinate Space Shuttle Ground Processing. The system uses constraint-based iterative repair, a technique that starts with a complete but possibly flawed schedule and iteratively improves it by using constraint knowledge within repair heuristics. In this paper we explore the tradeoff between the informedness and...
متن کاملAn Integrated Model for Storage Location Assignment and Storage/Retrieval Scheduling in AS/RS system
An integrated optimization framework, including location assignment under grouping class-based storage policy and schedule of dual shuttle cranes, is offered by presenting a new optimization programming model. The objective functions, which are considered at this level, are the minimization of total costs and energy consumption. Scheduling of dual shuttle cranes among specified locations, which...
متن کاملIterative Repair Planning for Spacecraft Operations Using the Aspen System
This paper describes the Automated Scheduling and Planning Environment (ASPEN). ASPEN encodes complex spacecraft knowledge of operability constraints, flight rules, spacecraft hardware, science experiments and operations procedures to allow for automated generation of low level spacecraft sequences. Using a technique called iterative repair, ASPEN classifies constraint violations (i.e., conflic...
متن کاملASPEN – Automated Planning and Scheduling for Space Mission Operations
This paper describes the ASPEN system for automation of planning and scheduling for space mission operations. ASPEN contains a number of innovations including: an expressive but easy to use modeling language, multiple search (inference) engines, iterative repair suited for mixed-initiative human in loop operations, real-time replanning and response (in the CASPER system), and plan optimization....
