Activelets: Light Weight Architecture for Special Operations Forces (SOF) Planning and Scheduling

Abstract

This project aimed at delivering continuous planning and scheduling capabilities to support crisis response for Special Operations Forces. The principal accomplishment of this effort has been the development of Comirem (COntinuous Mixed-Initiative REsource Management tool), an interactive planning/scheduling system designed to more directly match the iterative user-centered nature of planning and scheduling in practical domains by providing the means to represent evolving scenarios; define and reuse operational templates; maintain problem consistency in response to execution monitoring and information updates; and detect inconsistencies and signal appropriate alerts in response. This report describes the design of Comirem and summarizes the capabilities that it provides.
