Planning and Scheduling for the Hubble Space Tele- Scope
نویسنده
چکیده
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) conducts the scien-tiic operations of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This paper describes several innovative systems which have been developed to support science operations, including proposal selection, planning and scheduling. The application of these techniques to other observatories and spacecraft is discussed as well.

Generating a Long Range Plan for a New Class of Astronomical Observatories
We present a long range planning (LRP) system, the Spike Plan Window Scheduler, which has been in use for observations on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for the past four years and which is being adapted for the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) and Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) orbiting astronomical observatories. Due to the relatively underconstrained nature of this domain,...
متن کاملScheduling with neural networks - the case of the hubble space telescope
Scope and Purpose: This paper shows how artificial neural networks can be seamlessly merged with unique evidential reasoning techniques to form a flexible and convenient framework for rep resenting and solving complex scheduling problems with many "hard" and "soft" consttaints. The techniques described form the core of SPIKF.. an operational scheduling environment for long range scheduling of...
متن کاملPlanning in a cross dock network with an operational scheduling overview
Nowadays, cross docking plays an important role in the supply chain networks especially in transportation systems. According to the cross dock system advantages such as reducing transportation costs, lead times, and inventories, scheduling in a cross-dock center would be more complicated by increasing the number of suppliers, customers and product types. Considering the cross dock limited capac...
متن کاملA novel mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem under buffer and resource limitations-A case study
Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...
متن کاملA Criterion Autoscheduler for Long Range Planning
A constraint-based scheduling system called SPIKE is used to create long-term schedules for the Hubble Space Telescope. A meta-level scheduler called the Criterion Autoscheduler for Long range planning (CASL) has been created to guide SPIKE's schedule generation according to the agenda of the planning scientists. It is proposed that sufficient flexibility exists in a schedule to allow high leve...
