Real-time Rescheduling with Execution Monitoring
and Accurate Asset Tracking

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS : Dr. Douglas R. Smith

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this work is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a generic architecture for real-time asset tracking and dynamic scheduling/rescheduling.

APPROACH: The main elements of the proposed approach are (1) a rescheduling architecture, (2) synthesis of fast rescheduling algorithms, (3) synthesis of sentinels, (4) execution monitoring, and (5) high-accuracy asset tracking.

PROGRESS: This project is expected to start in June 1997.

PRODUCTS: This project is expected to start in June 1997.
