Software for Monitoring Remote Systems and Executing Plans

The Knowledge Server Tools (KST) computer program comprises a distributed set of software tools for monitoring remote systems. Part of KST implements a knowledge server for monitoring the status of a remote system (e.g., a computer-controlled instrumentation system, a robot, or a spacecraft). Another part of KST executes plans. KST was developed to replace older software that was difficult to use, less capable, and less portable.
