We describe a resource bounding technique called the Flow Balance Constraint (FBC) to tightly bound the amount of available resource for a set of partially ordered events with piecewise constant resource impact. We provide an efficient algorithm for calculating FBC and bound its complexity. We compare this technique with two existing resource bounding techniques, the Balance Constraint (BC) due...

This research statement describes work in progress to enhance the performance of the Ground Processing Scheduling System (GPSS). The GPSS is a constraintbased scheduler that, using an anytime algorithm, deals with three kinds of constraints: temporal, resource, and configuration. It starts with a complete schedule that may have some constraint violations (conflicts) and gradually improves the s...
