... Operations of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) require the creation of stable and e#cient observation schedules in an environment where inputs to the plan can change daily. A process and architecture is presented which supports the creation of e#cient and stable plans by dividing scheduling into long term and short term components. ... The short term scheduler builds e#cient week long observation schedules by selecting observations which have plan windows open within the week. ...

FIRST SCREEN . ... Data necessary to continue to the next screen : profiles from calibration wedges (three at least), profile of quiet sun, coordinates of the solar region and heliographic latitude of the center of the solar disk. What to do : First of all you must fill in the region which the profiles should be taken from, by pressing the "range for profiles" button (only x positions x 1 and x 2 , x 1 2 ). Then use the "number of profile" button for choosing which wedge you are going to mark. ...

This course is an experimental section of Physics 101 limited to 20--25 students. While we will cover the traditional topics of Mechanics we will attempt to have a very hands-on class where students will do active experiments in class. A key component of this class will involve the use of JAVA software running under Web Browsers (e.g. Netscape or Internet Explorer ) to perform a variety of virtual experiments. ... This will be accomplished via both physical and virtual experimentation. ...
