Facilitating Analysis of Multiple Partial Data Streams

Robotic Operations Automation: Mechanisms, Imaging, Navigation report Generation (ROAMING) is a set of computer programs that facilitates and accelerates both tactical and strategic analysis of time-sampled data — especially the disparate and often incomplete streams of Mars Explorer Rover (MER) telemetry data described in the immediately preceding article. As used here, "tactical" refers to the activities over a relatively short time (one Martian day in the original MER application) and "strategic" refers to a longer time (the entire multi-year MER missions in the original application).
