Issues related to the development of the Automated Spacelab Stowage Expert System (ASSESS) are examined including the problem domain, design, and status. The ASSESS concept is designed to configure stowage items into Spacelab lockers with an expert-system approach in which knowledge is available for every item and locker and for the complete heuristics. ASSESS employs the Knowledge Engineering Environment for development, and graphic displays present data on the items, lockers, and general system status. The automatic and manual modes are presented; the former provides the capability for an automatic solution to the stowage of a set of items into Spacelab lockers based on stowage heuristics defined and/or set by the user. The approach and heuristics algorithms are shown to permit the effective practical solution of NP-hard problems.
