LRP Glossary

CWV		Verify Constraint Windows.  Indicates when SOGS shedulability exists.

CW		Constraint Windows.  Indicates when SPIKE believes suitability exists.

SOGS		Science Operations Ground System.  Commonly referring to the SOGS database 

SOGS...			or the vms calendar building operations side.

SPIKE		Lisp program which generates LRP scheduling information

SPIKE-GUI	The Tcl/Tk interface to SPIKE.
