An Introduction To Optimal Satellite Range Scheduling - Antonio Jose Vazquez Alvarez

The Satellite Range Scheduling (srs) Problem, An Important Operations Research Problem In The Aerospace Industry Consisting Of Allocating Tasks Among Satellites And Earth-bound Objects, Is Examined In This Book. Srs Principles And Solutions Are Applicable To Many Areas, Including:satellite Communications, Where Tasks Are Communication Intervals Between Sets Of Satellites And Ground Stationsearth Observation, Where Tasks Are Observations Of Spots On The Earth By Satellitessensor Scheduling, Where Tasks Are Observations Of Satellites By Sensors On The Earth. This Self-contained Monograph Begins With A Structured Compendium Of The Problem And Moves On To Explain The Optimal Approach To The Solution, Which Includes Aspects From Graph Theory, Set Theory, Game Theory And Belief Networks.
