Abstract:
The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a central part of NASA's infrastructure for communicating with active space missions, from earth orbit to beyond the solar system. We describe our recent work in modeling the complexities of user requirements, and then scheduling and resolving conflicts on that basis. We emphasize our innovative use of background "intelligent" assistants" that carry out search asynchrnously while the user is focusing on various aspects of the schedule.
