GSAW2004: Agenda and Presentations

GSAW2004: Tutorials

The annual Ground System Architectures Workshop (GSAW) explores issues and
achievements in system architectures and designs for spacecraft ground systems. This international forum
brings together ground system users, developers, and researchers to share their experiences through
presentations, working groups, and panel discussions.

Technical sessions will address methodologies, lessons learned, business cases, and advanced
technologies for topics including:

• Architectural representation and analysis
• Standards and interoperability
• Software reuse and product lines
• Off-the-shelf and open source components
• Program management, including risk and life cycle issues
• System security and information assurance
• Software and mission assurance, system integration, and testing
• Space and ground communication architectures
• Space and ground trades
• Operations and sustainment concepts
