Abstract
Several current NASA programs such as the EOSDIS Core System (ECS) have data processing and data management requirements that call for an integrated planning andscheduling capability. As we have shown in previous work, the scale and complexity of data ingest and product generation for ECS will overwhelm the capabilities of manual planning and scheduling procedures. Meeting this challenge requires the innovative application of advanced technology. Some of our work on developing this technology was described in a paper presented at the 1994 Goddard AI Conference, in which we talked about advanced planning and scheduling capabilities for product generation. We are now moving to deploy some of the technology we have developed for operational use.
