Reviews

From the reviews: Truszkowski (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) and colleagues have documented how NASA missions have become and will become more autonomous and automatic. The authors present several top-level examples along with helpful flowcharts. A thorough glossary and nearly 200 references provide a good basis for diving into more depth with other resources. This book would be a start for someone who is developing autonomous and automatic systems. Summing Up: Recommended. Professional audiences. (D. B. Spencer, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), July, 2010)
