  • Publication number: 20060059059
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the execution of planning services in an advanced planning environment. The planning services may be executed using one or more objects stored in a database. A method for managing the execution of planning services may include accessing a planning profile, the planning profile including at least one process block with a list of planning services to be executed, and reading a trigger group profile of the at least one process block, the trigger group profile defining one or more triggers for restricting objects to be executed with one or more of the planning services. In addition, the method may include executing each planning service in the list of planning services while preventing the processing of objects restricted by the trigger group profile.

  • Publication number: 20060059005
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing data in an advanced planning environment. In one exemplary method, data is managed during the execution of a plurality of planning services, the planning services using one or more objects represented by data stored in a database. The method may include reading a planning profile with at least one process block, the at least one process block including a list of planning services to be executed and a selection profile, the selection profile including selection criteria for specifying which of the objects stored in the database are required for processing the at least one process block.

  • Publication number: 20060059060
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for executing services in an advanced planning environment. The services may comprise planning service that are executed using one or more objects stored in a database. Further, a planning profile may be provided, the planning profile including at least one process block containing a list of planning services to be executed. A method for executing services may include reading the planning profile, including a selection profile of the at least one process block of the planning profile. The selection profile may comprise selection criteria for specifying which of the objects stored in the database are required for processing the at least one process block. Further, the method may include accessing the objects stored in the database based on the selection criteria of the selection profile, and executing each planning service in accordance with the list of planning services and the objects accessed from the database.

  • Patent number: 5377106
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process for navigating an unmanned vehicle over a predeterable course, respectively such a vehicle. A steering and control unit determines by a first sensor at least the stretch covered and detects by at least one second sensor objects in the vicinage the position of which is stored in the steering and control unit and which serve the purpose of checking the position of the vehicle computed on the basis of the covered stretch. In accordance with the present invention the distance of the vehicle from the objects in the vicinage stored with their exact position in relation to the planned path in the steering and control unit is ascertained by the second sensor at points on the path spaced at intervals. The ascertained distance is compared with the stored distance of the planned coordinates of the point on the path from the object in vicinage.
