• Abstract: This paper presents an Answer Set Programming (ASP)-based framework for medical appointment scheduling, aimed at improving efficiency, reducing administrative overhead, and enhancing patient-centered care. The framework personalizes scheduling for vulnerable populations by integrating Blueprint Personas. It ensures real-time availability updates, conflict-free assignments, and seamless interoperability with existing healthcare platforms by centralizing planning operations within an ASP logic model.

  Earth observation resources are becoming increasingly indispensable in disaster relief, damage assessment and related domains. Many unpredicted factors, such as the change of observation task requirements, to the occurring of bad weather and resource failures, may cause the scheduled observation scheme to become infeasible. A bottom-up distributed coordinated framework together with an improved contract net are proposed to facilitate the dynamic task replanning for heterogeneous Earth observation resources.
