The International Ultraviolet Explorer has been successfully operated as a real time user-interactive space observatory for twelve years. It is expected to continue operation for up to five additional years, but under increasing constraints. The option to operate IUE in a more automated, non user-interactive mode is under consideration. A sophisticated software system to support such an operation is a clear requirement. The conceptual framework of such a system is described. Results of a preliminary tests are presented for which a hypothetical four day schedule of space-craft activities at a time resolutions as low as ten minutes was generated.
