MrSPOCK: Generating a Planning System through a Timeline Representation Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes aspects of a project, named APSI (Advanced Planning and Scheduling Initiative), aiming at creating a general, flexible and reusable software architecture to address planning problems in space missions. It introduces our recent work that realized a general software framework for supporting development of planning and scheduling applications for space. The framework which is named Trf (Timeline-based Representation Framework) aims at supporting application development within different ESA missions and is currently being tested on three problem examples all solved on top of the Trf functionalities. The paper describes the Trf three-layerd software architecture and shows how it has been used to deploy a complete application named MrSPOCK an interactive system for Mars Express Long Term Planning.

متن کاملContinuous Planning and Execution with Timelines
Planning systems need to be endowed with some additional features to cope effectively with execution: e.g., the ability to keep the plan database updated with respect to the actual feedbacks provided by the controlled system, to mention but one. In this paper, we identify a set of noteworthy planning and execution open issues relatively to the timeline-based planning approach. We address those ...
متن کاملValidation and verification issues in a timeline-based planning system
One of the key points to take into account to foster effective introduction of AI planning and scheduling systems in real world is to develop end user trust in the related technologies. Automated planning and scheduling systems often brings solutions to the users which are neither “obvious” nor immediately acceptable for them. This is due to the ability of these tools to take into account quite...
