Risk-Aware Scheduling throughout Planning and Execution

Scheduling is integral to many real-world logistics problems. It can be as simple as catching the bus in the morning, or as complex as assembling a commercial airliner. While simple applications render scheduling tools trivial, these tools have not been widely adopted for complex scenarios either. The larger the scenario, the greater the temporal uncertainty throughout the system, and many schedulers do not consider the probabilistic uncertainty in actions' durations.

In this architecture, the planner and scheduler first generate Figure 1 diagrams the layers of reasoning for a planning executive a plan and scheduling policy offline, which the dispatcher to map logistical goals into real-world actions.
