This paper offers an informal discussion of non-compositional constraints in hopes of making the concept more familiar and accessible.
This paper describes the integration of a model-based planner into a procedural architecture.
We describe the autonomous control architecture for the JPL Mission Data System (MDS). MDS is a comprehensive new software infrastructure for supporting unmanned space exploration. The autonomous control architecture is one component of MDS designed to enable autonomous operations.
In a recent study, Prechelt compared the relative performance of Java and C++ in terms of execution time and memory utilization. Unlike many benchmark studies, Prechelt compared mulitple implementations of the same task by multiple programmers in order to control for the effects of difference in programmer skill.
This paper describes tickets, a computational mechanism for hard-real-time autonomous resource management. Autonomous spacecraftcontrol can be considered abstractly as a computational process whose outputs are spacecraft commands.
In this paper we describe a new approach to spacecraft sequencing which we call nonlinear or conditional sequencing.
In this article we explore the design of an executive for an autonomous spacecraft. The executive is responsible for translating high-level commands, whether they come from the ground or from an on-board planner, into the low-level commands understood directly by the spacecraft hardware.
We investigate the application of conditional sequencing to robot navigation.
