Practical Approaches to Scheduling and Planning

Contents

A scheduling and resource management system named MAESTRO has been interfaced with a Space Station Module Power Management and Distribution (SSMPMAD) breadboard at Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The combined system serves to illustrate the integration of planning, scheduling and control in a realistic, complex domain. This paper briefly describes the functional elements of the combined system, including normal and contingency operational scenarios, then focusses on the method used by the scheduler to handle real-time contingencies.
