dc.description.abstract	This paper describes the DSN Scheduling Engine (DSE) component of a new scheduling system being deployed for NASA’s Deep Space Network. The DSE provides core automation functionality for scheduling the network, including the interpretation of scheduling requirements expressed by users, their elaboration into tracking passes, and resolving conflicts and constraint violations. The DSE incorporates both systematic search and repair-based algorithms, used for different phases and purposes in the overall system. It has been integrated in with a web application which provides its functionality to all DSN users through a standard web browser. The system is in the process of deployment to operational status.	en_US
