Abstract

This document presents the hardware, software, and human resource requirements needed to implement a dynamic scheduling system for the Sardinia Radio Telescope. After reviewing a number of scheduling solutions presently adopted in other radio astronomical facilities, we reasoned about a possible system tailored specifically for the peculiar characteristics of the SRT. An all-encompassing architecture is designed based on a careful top-down approach. A complete system is presented, in which the weather tools, proposal tools, scheduling system, observing system and telescope management tools are all integrated together. The role of the various human actors involved is also analyzed.
