Injecting On-Board Autonomy in a Multi-Agent System for Space Service Providing

  • Conference paper
Trends in Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA/AIE 2010)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6096))

Abstract

The paper describes recent work for experimenting on-board autonomy capabilities within a larger multi-agent system that provides product delivery for the GMES Earth Observation System. We will show how robust state of the art technology for constraint-based scheduling and execution can be customized for endowing agents with the autonomy capability.
