Abstract

The TINA Systems (TImeliNe Assistants) are a family of knowledgebased planning systems developed by Dornier Satellitensysteme GmbH. The first approaches to knowledgebased planning systems reach back to the eighties and cover the domain of satellite assembly planning, using rule based and Lisp based problem solving techniques. Over the years, these planning tools have evolved to a modular object oriented program library with the application domains of satellite assembly, integration and test as well as satellite mission operations. One common kernel includes the timeline generation algorithms and the inference and constraint propagation engine. A commercially available constraint propagation toolset is used as base and the entire application is impleme
