Abstract :
This paper describes the Demand Access Network Scheduler (DANS) system for automatically scheduling and rescheduling resources for a network of communications antennas. DANS accepts a baseline schedule and supports rescheduling of antenna and subsystem resources to satisfy tracking goals in the event of: changing track requests, equipment outages, and inclement weather
