Self-* Properties in NASA Missions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The four key objective properties of a system that are required for it to qualify as “autonomic” are now wellaccepted––self-configuring, self-healing, self-protecting, and self-optimizing––together with the attribute properties––viz. self-aware, environment-aware, selfmonitoring and self-adjusting. This paper describes these self-* properties as exhibited in NASA missions, and in particular with reference to a NASA concept mission, ANTS, which is illustrative of future NASA exploration based on the technology of intelligent swarms.

The four key objective properties of a system that are required of it in order for it to qualify as “autonomic” are now wellaccepted—self-configuring, self-healing, self-protecting, and self-optimizing—together with the attribute properties—viz. selfaware, environment-aware, self-monitoring and self-adjusting. This paper describes the need for next generation system software architectures, wher...
متن کاملAdvanced Automaton For Space Missions
A NASA/ASEE Summer Study conducted at the University of Santa Clara in 1980 examined the feasibility of using advanced artificial intelligence and automation technologies in future NASA space missions. Four candidate applications missions were considered. (1) An intelligent Earth-sensing information system, (2) an autonomous space exploration system, (3) an automated space manufacturing facilit...
متن کاملNASA CoNtributioNS to it
D eep space presents numerous hazards and harsh conditions for remote exploration missions, which must often operate autonomously without intervention from Earth. To increase the survivability of the remote missions, NASA is exploiting principles and techniques that help such systems become more resilient through selfmanagement and automatic adaptation. By adhering to the principles of autonomi...
متن کاملEngineering Ultimate Self - Protection in Autonomic Agents for Space Exploration
NASA’s Exploration Initiative (EI) will push space exploration missions to the limit. Future missions will be required to be self-managing as well as self-directed, in order to meet the challenges of human and robotic space exploration. We discuss security and self protection in autonomic agent based-systems, and propose the ultimute self-protection mechanism for such systems-self-&struction. L...
متن کاملSome Verification Issues at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
NASA is developing increasingly complex missions to conduct new science and exploration. Missions are increasingly turning to multi-spacecraft to provide multiple simultaneous views of phenomena, and to search more of the solar system in less time. Swarms of intelligent autonomous spacecraft, involving complex behaviors and interactions, are being proposed to accomplish the goals of these new m...
