5. The AMC Allocator:Advanced Scheduling for US Airforce Problem: Day-to-day allocation of aircraft & crews to airlift/tanker missions Characteristics –Large scale: 1,000s of missions; 100s of assets –Continuous, dynamic stream of mission requirements Core Technology: Incremental, constraint-based search –Rapid gen. of airlift/tanker schedules –Localized revision in response to changing circumstances –Flexible, what-if option generation Status: Embedded in AMC’s operational planning system & transitioning into use DARPA Carnegie Mellon PI: Steve Smith
