# ALEPS: The Automated Logistics Element Planning System

Rodney S. Daughtrey, David Michael Brady

*Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 1706--1.

## Abstract

Space Station Freedom, an international, permanently manned orbiting scientific research platform, will be periodically resupplied using NASA's fleet of space shuttles. Each shuttle will transport cargo carriers to and from the Station, packed with experiment payloads, crew supplies, and spare parts. The Automated Logistics Element Planning System (ALEPS) will help produce near-optimal configurations for these carriers, maximizing the efficiency of this complex logistics system.
