	abstract = {While NASA is increasingly interested in multi-platform
space missions, controlling such platforms via timed
command sequences -- the current favored operations
technique -- is unfortunately very difficult, and a key source
of this complexity involves resolving conflicts to coordinate
multiple spacecraft plans. We propose distributed constraint
satisfaction (DCSP) techniques for automated coordination
and conflict resolution of such multi-spacecraft plans. We
introduce novel value ordering heuristics in DCSP to
significantly improve the rate of conflict resolution
convergence to meet the efficiency needs of multispacecraft missions. In addition, we introduce distributed
POMDP (partially observable markov decision process)
based techniques for DCSP convergence analysis, which
facilitates automated selection of the most appropriate
DCSP strategy for a given situation, and points the way to a
new generation of analytical tools for analysis of DCSP and
multi-agent systems in general.},
