The Ground System Architectures Workshop (GSAW), in its 14th year, provides a forum for the world’s spacecraft ground system experts to collaborate with other ground system users, developers, and researchers through tutorials, presentations, working groups, and panel discussions on issues and solutions.

This year the program committee is looking for presentations covering all aspects of spacecraft ground systems, with a special focus on innovative ground system architectures that can respond to user needs and deliver capabilities through creative solutions. Sessions will address methodologies, lessons learned, business cases, and advanced technologies for topics including:

• Net-centric and service-oriented architectures
• Information assurance and cybersecurity
• Operations, sustainment, and multi-mission support
• System-of-systems and horizontal integration
• Autonomy and automation for timely response
• Architecture modeling
• Human factors, work load, and effectiveness
• Mission assurance, program risk, and change management
• Off-the-shelf and open-source components and software reuse
• Space and ground communication architectures
• Leading-edge university research
• Rapid system development
• Mission planning and data analysis
• Compatibility and standards
