GSAW
97: Agenda and Presentations
The spacecraft control community is focusing increasing attention
on various forms of architectures. Studies on software architectures
and related technologies have been commissioned by DOD programs
such as Satellite Control Network (SCN), Milstar, Global Positioning
System (GPS), Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), Phillips
Laboratory Space Research Program, Space Test and Evaluation (TE),
and classified programs, as well as National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), commercial spacecraft programs, and commercial ground system
product suppliers. A number of initiatives are underway to establish
consensus reference architectures. However, up to now there has
been very little technical interchange among these groups.
The
Aerospace Corporation, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force Space
and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Ground Systems Integrated Product
Team (GSIPT), is planning a series of annual workshops to bring
together participants working in the Spacecraft Ground System (SGS)
domain. The overall intent of these workshops is to expedite the
transition to common consensus-based open software architectures
for SGSs.
In the first
of these workshops, GSAW 97, participants will exchange information
and air issues with the long-term goal of arriving at a community
consensus on the following issues:
- Criteria
and tools for defining and evaluating SGS architectures
- Role of software
architecture in programs - impact on interoperability and standardization
- Approaches
for representing software architectures for SGSs
- Implementation
of SGS components/systems from architectures or frameworks
- Software
technologies for support of architecture (e.g., object-oriented
technologies, middleware)
- Mapping commercial
products to reference software architectures
These workshops
are partially supported by the University of Southern California -
Center for Software Engineering and the Evolutionary Design of Complex
Software (EDCS) Program which is being co-sponsored by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and USAF Rome Laboratory.
EDCS is a technology program which addresses the need for military
systems to evolve over extended lifetimes, primarily through changes
in their software. Technologies that are being developed as part of
this program will be applied to software in the SGS domain via these
workshops and related activities. WORKSHOP
DATES: February 26-28, 1997
Workshop will
be held at The Aerospace Corporation facilities in El Segundo, California.
