P.M. - 4:30 P.M. |
| Overview: |
Automated
planning & scheduling technology has shown considerable promise
in automating space mission operations with benefits of: reduced
operations effort, reduced turnaround time for operations, improved
mission efficiency, improved mission reliability, and more flexible
operations. This tutorial will focus on answering the following
questions: What is automated planning & scheduling technology?
How does it work? What are its limitations? Who has used it
and what were their experiences? How will it change future mission
operations and missions? How does onboard autonomy impact mission
operations? |

| Biography: |
Dr.
Russell Knight is a senior member of technical staff at the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He is the software lead for the
CASPER automated planning system which is being deployed onboard
the Three Corner Sat and Earth Observing One missions. He
is currently the automated planning lead for Orbital Express.
He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of
California, Los Angeles.
Dr. Ari Jonsson is a research scientist with RIACS/NASA Ames
Research Center. He is one of the principal architects of
the EUROPA planning system, which is currently being deployed
to support operations of the Mars Exploration Rover(s) (MER).
He holds a PhD. in Computer Science from Stanford University.
Dr. Chien is a principal scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
In 1997, he received the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal
for his work in research and development of planning and scheduling
systems for NASA. He is the Team Lead for the ASPEN Planning
System , which received Honorable Mention in the 1999 Software
of the Year Competition and was a contributor to the Remote
Agent System which was a co-winner in the same 1999 competition.
In 2000, he received the NASA Exceptional Service Medal for
service and leadership in research and deployment of planning
and scheduling systems for NASA. Dr. Chien has presented numerous
tutorials on automated planning and scheduling and taught
classes at the University of Southern California on Automated
Planning and Scheduling and Integrated Agent Architectures,
which received a teaching excellence award. Currently Dr.
Chien is leading and effort to automate operations (both ground-based
and onboard) for the EO-1 mission using automated planning
& scheduling technology. |
