Integrating Planning and ReactionA Preliminary

This paper is a preliminary report on the Entropy Reduction Engine architecture for integrating planning, scheduling, and control. The architecture is motivated through a NASA mission scenario and a brief list of design goals. The main body of the paper presents an overview of the Entropy Reduction Engine architecture by describing its major components, their interactions, and the way in which these interacting components satisfy the design goals.
