A scheduling system and method for moving plural objects through a multipath system described as a freight railway scheduling system. The scheduling system utilizes a cost reactive resource scheduler to minimize resource exception while at the same time minimizing the global costs associated with the solution. The achievable movement plan can be used to assist in the control of, or to automatically control, the movement of trains through the system.

A method of assigning communicaton links in a dynamic communication network, such as a network of earth orbiting satellites arranged, for example in three constellations. The assignments are made in phases, with the first phases assigning high priority link classes. Subsequent phases assign lower priority link classes. A set of constraints is established, and a high priority subset of these constraints can be assured by requiring that any assignment set to be accepted results in a network topology satisfying that subset of constraints even if existing links must be intentionally broken. Other constraints are met only if existing links need not be broken. To assign the links, the set of candidate nodes having unassigned transceivers is determined, then a set of possible links that can be formed by the set of candidate nodes is determined, the possible links are evaluated to determine a set of link assignments satsifying the greatest number of the high priority constraints, and the assigned links are established.
