Barney Pell's Research on Agents and Autonomy
- Integrated Planning and Execution for Satellite Tele-Communications. Christian Plaunt, Kanna Rajan, Barney Pell and Nicola Muscettola. Submitted to AAAI 1998 Fall Symposium. Abstract is here.
- Automating Mission Scheduling for Space-Based Observatories. Nicola Muscettola, Barney Pell, Othar Hansson, and Sunil Mohan. In G.W. Henry and J.A. Eaton, eds, Robotic Telescopes: Current Capabilities, Present Developments, and Future Prospects for Automated Astronomy. Provo, UT: Astronomical Society of the Pacific, ASP Conference Series number 79, 1995. Abstract is here.
- A Remote Agent Prototype for Spacecraft Autonomy. Barney Pell, Douglas E. Bernard, Steven A. Chien, Erann Gat, Nicola Muscettola, P. Pandurang Nayak, Michael D. Wagner, and Brian C. Williams. In Proceedings of the SPIE Conference on Optical Science, Engineering, and Instrumentation , 1996. Abstract is here . This is the original paper on the Remote Agent architecture used in Newmaap.
- An Autonomous Spacecraft Agent Prototype. Barney Pell, Douglas E. Bernard, Steven A. Chien, Erann Gat, Nicola Muscettola, P. Pandurang Nayak, Michael D. Wagner, and Brian C. Williams.
