Abstract: A request is received for an answer to a problem comprising optimum assignment of a plurality of first entities to a plurality of second entities. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) is defined associated with a swarm comprising a plurality of particles, each particle location in the swarm representing an assignment of a first entity to a second entity. The PSO determines a set of solutions as a potential answer to the optimum assignment. A cost matrix is configured to analyze each solution PSO in accordance with a Hungarian algorithm, is configured to optimize at least one constraint associated with the pluralities of first and second entities and is applied to the set of PSO solutions generated to determine a cost score for each respective particle. The solution having the particle with best cost score is selected to be an optimized global best particle location for the next PSO iteration.

Abstract: A method, including receiving a search query for resources that are configured to establish a connection with a space vehicle, the search query including a first value for a connection parameter; identifying one or more tactic definitions that satisfy the search query, each of the tactic definitions including one or more second values for the connection parameter, wherein at least one of the second values for the connection parameter matches the first value for the connection parameter that is included in the search query; and generating one or more tactic options, each of the tactic options being generated based on a respective one of the tactic definitions, each of the tactic options being associated with a respective resource of the tactic option.
