    • Terminal area flight path generation using parallel constraint propagation 

      Sadoune, Michel ([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989)
      A Flight Path Generator is defined as the module of an automated Air Traffic Control system which plans aircraft trajectories in the terminal area with respect to operational constraints. The flight path plans have to be ...

    • An expert system for temporal planning with an application to runway configuration management 

      Hazelton, Lyman R. (Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
      This thesis describes an expert system to aid in the management of operations in complex qualitative domains characterized by multiple parallel activities with time-critical relationships. An extension to "standard" temporal ...

    • Comparison of optimization techniques for origin-destination seat inventory control 

      Williamson, Elizabeth Louise ([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1988], 1988)
      Airlines have recently realized the importance of an effective seat inventory control system on revenues and profits. Yet, at the same time, there is a lack of practical optimization models for determining the number of ...
