RE-ENGINEERING THE EUVE PAYLOAD OPERATIONS INFORMATION FLOW PROCESS TO SUPPORT AUTONOMOUS MONITORING OF PAYLOAD TELEMETRY

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / The UC Berkeley Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Science Operations Center
(ESOC) is developing and implementing knowledge-based software to automate the
monitoring of satellite payload telemetry. Formerly, EUVE science payload data were
received, archived, interpreted, and responded to during round-the-clock monitoring
by human operators. Now, knowledge-based software will support, augment, and
supplement human intervention. In response to and as a result of this re-engineering
project, the creation, storage, revision, and communication of information (the
information flow process) within the ESOC has been redesigned. We review the
information flow process within the ESOC before, during, and after the re-engineering
of telemetry monitoring. We identify six fundamental challenges we face in modifying
the information flow process. (These modifications are necessary because of the shift
from continuous human monitoring to a knowledge-based autonomous monitoring
system with intermittent human response.) We describe the innovations we have
implemented in the ESOC information systems, including innovations in each part of
the information flow process for short-term or dynamic information (which changes or
updates within a week) as well as for long-term or static information (which is valid
for more than a week). We discuss our phased approach to these innovations, in which
modifications were made in small increments and the lessons learned at each step
were incorporated into subsequent modifications. We analyze some mistakes and
present lessons learned from our experience.
