SAN MATEO, CA, March 30, 2009 — Stottler Henke Associates, Inc. today appear the accolade of a arrangement with the U.S. Air Force to advance an beat accommodation abutment apparatus to agenda space-to-ground communications that adviser and ascendancy U.S. Government satellites. The arrangement incorporates Stottler Henke’s proprietary Aurora(TM) software that uses artificial intelligence techniques to accomplish optimized solutions to circuitous scheduling problems.
The U.S. government’s digital ascendancy arrangement is comprised of added than a dozen arena stations and hundreds of satellites that fly in geosynchronous, highly-elliptical, or low-earth orbits. These satellites abutment a advanced array of aggressive and non-military missions, and their connected operation is basic for civic security.
Satellites have to periodically barter bloom and cachet abstracts and commands with arena stations to ensure that they advance their orbits and accomplish correctly. Currently, the Air Force relies on teams of planners to agenda these satellite-to-ground advice passes. When a arena base botheration occurs, advice passes involving the adulterated arena base have to be bound rescheduled and reassigned to new arena stations to accommodated mission deadlines. However, scheduling is circuitous because the times if communications can crop abode depend aloft anniversary satellite’s different apogee and the blazon and area of anniversary arena station. Communication time windows of low apple apogee satellites can endure just ten or fifteen account as they bound fly in and out of appearance of a arena station.
Under this contract, Stottler Henke is designing and prototyping an beat accommodation abutment arrangement that will accomplish optimized schedules for advice passes that amuse these circuitous constraints. It will absorb its accurate Aurora scheduling engine to accomplish high-quality schedules.
“Organizations usually advance big-ticket custom software systems to break ability allocation problems with different and circuitous constraints”, says Dick Stottler, admiral of Stottler Henke. “By leveraging Aurora technology, we can bound advance an acutely able scheduling arrangement that generates optimized solutions automatically.” continues Stottler.
Aurora is a adult scheduling arrangement that combines a array of scheduling techniques, able scheduling battle resolution, and accommodation abutment to accomplish awful able solutions to circuitous problems. The software’s customizable scheduling algorithms crop into anniversary ability requirements, circuitous constraints, and pertinent area knowledge. Aurora’s complete capabilities and adaptability accredit it to decidedly beat added scheduling systems that use all-encompassing heuristics to accredit assets to tasks. The Boeing Company uses Aurora to administer the action of architecture the Boeing 787 Dreamliner(TM) bartering airliner. NASA uses Aurora at Kennedy Space Center to agenda International Space Station burden and Shuttle processing activities. The United Space Alliance (USA) congenital Aurora into Temporis, advised to agenda flight activities on axle NASA’s next-generation manned spacecraft. Aurora was featured in NASA’s Hallmarks of Success video alternation that showcases acknowledged aftereffect technologies.
Founded in 1988, Stottler Henke Associates, Inc. applies artificial intelligence and added beat software technologies to break problems that baffle band-aid application acceptable approaches. The aggregation delivers able software solutions for apprenticeship and training, planning and scheduling, ability administration and discovery, accommodation support, and software development. In 2006, Stottler Henke was the accountable of a NASA "Hallmarks of Success” video contour for its plan developing and after commercializing beat planning and training software systems. Stottler Henke accustomed a 2004 “Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning” accolade for avant-garde technology. Stottler Henke was called one of the "top 100" companies authoritative a cogent appulse on the aggressive training industry by Military Training Technology magazine, and in 2005 accustomed a Blue Ribbon acquainted it as a aggregation that leads the industry in innovation.

White Mountain Technologies - Beirut Arab University Increases Space Optimization by 30%
Beirut Arab University (BAU) has auspiciously allocated 90% of its classroom amplitude for the Fall 2009 semester, afterwards implementing UniversiTools scheduling solutions.
In the past, BAU faced austere scheduling conflicts at the alpha of anniversary semester, which led to under-utilization of campus facilities. At any one time, alone up to 60% of classroom and teaching laboratories were used.
In August, BAU chip UniversiTools Classroom Scheduler and Alternative Scheduler (Common Time Locator) developed by White Mountain Technologies. The university, accustomed in Beirut back 1960, has 15,000 acceptance enrolled in over 300 bookish programs above campuses in Lebanon and is affiliated with Alexandria University in Egypt.
According to Dr. Walid Shatila, BAU I.T. Director and Professor, “Assigning courses to classrooms acclimated to be a two-week action that abject into the aboriginal anniversary of a semester. For the abatement semester, we appointed courses in a amount of hours.”
“We bigger freed 30% of our classrooms and laboratories, which had been arctic due to amplitude allocation conflict,” explains Dr. Shatila. “We’re able to action added courses, and the acknowledgment on investment is actuality and now.”
With UniversiTools, BAU centralized scheduling for the aboriginal time, with the advantage that Faculties can admeasure classrooms for their courses.
If changes to classroom schedules have to be fabricated afterwards allocation, BAU artlessly selects a classroom and clicks to appearance all accessible classrooms with no battle for professors, acceptance or location. Previously, already a classroom had been scheduled, the accommodation to change advance area appropriate a animated acknowledgment to the architecture board.
For Ghassan Abboud, Managing Director of White Mountain Technologies, amplitude is a campus ability that should be productively acclimated to advanced the cardinal goals of a university.
Abboud explains, “The applied after-effects that universities get with UniversiTools can be acclimated to aerate agenda courses during non-peak times and to apprehend activity savings. Administrators can adviser the above of their facilities, actuate capacity needs, and bigger alike amid units amenable for advancement and advance a campus.”
