| Popis: | In the age of Large Programs and Big Data a key component in project planning for ground-based astronomical observatories is understanding how to balance users demands and telescope capabilities. In particular, future planning for operations requires us to asses the impact of a complex set of parameters, such as right ascension, instrument, and sky condition pressures over coming semesters. Increased understanding of these parameters can provide: improved scientific output, better management of user expectations, more accurate advertised/allocated time under a Call for Proposals, and improved scheduling for instrumental commissioning and engineering work. We present ongoing efforts by staff at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) to build a tool to provide automated completion forecasting of Large Programs undertaken at this telescope, which make up 50% of the observing time available at the JCMT. 12 pages, 9 figures, SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2020, Paper Number: 11449-51 |
