AI Planning and Scheduling for Autonomy in Space Application
------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday July 6th, Manchester
http://www.nicve.salford.ac.uk/space/

In association with TIME 2002: 9th International Symposium on
        Temporal Representation and Reasoning

Sponsored by Science Systems

Background
----------
Spacecraft and satellites have typically been supported by large numbers of
operations staff on the ground, who controlled every aspect of their
activity by generating very specific and lengthy sets of detailed low-level
commands. With the possibility of losing a mission if an error was made,
this was seen as the safe way of operating.

However a number of factors make it hard to continue like this. One is
cost: a comprehensive network of ground stations operated round the clock
is not cheap. This combines with a scaling up problem: as more satellites
and spacecraft are launched and commercial operations increase, multiplying
the cost to an unacceptable level. 'Lights out' operation, where ground
stations are operated only during office hours is already coming in. A
second factor is more ambitious missions: constellations of satellites,
more deep space probes where communication delays are a factor, and the
long-term aim to put people on Mars. The third factor is the desire to have
scientists interact with their space-based experiments directly, perhaps by
extending the internet into space.

For all these reasons, autonomous operation of satellites and spacecraft is
becoming more interesting to the Space community. AI Planning and
Scheduling has an important role to play in providing on-board autonomy,
but for it to succeed, researchers need to understand the requirements of
Space applications and Space people need to understand what the technology
can achieve. This workshop hopes to develop the dialogue between the two
communities.

A proposal for a journal special issue based on submissions will be
formulated.

Submissions
-----------
We request submissions both from researchers in AI Planning and Scheduling
who are interested in applying their ideas to the Space domain, and from
companies and people working on Space applications discussing possible
applications areas where intelligent planning and scheduling would be
useful.
Relevant topics include:
        o       Continuous planning and replanning; Dynamic scheduling
        o       Planning and scheduling under real-time constraints
        o       Efficient temporal planning
                Efficient planning under uncertainty
        o       Integration of planning, scheduling and fault detection and diagnosis
                Mixed-initiative planning and adjustable autonomy architectures
                Distributed multi-agent planning
o       Automating earth observation requests on satellites
        o       Autonomous operation and control of satellite constellations
                Autonomous operation and control of planetary rover fleets
        o       Autonomous operation and control of deep space spacecraft
Verification of autonomous control systems

Any discussion of general techniques should be linked to how they might be
applied in the Space domain.

Please submit a maximum of 5000 words by the deadline below to:
