Ground
System Architectures Workshop
February 25-27, 1998
The Aerospace Corporation

GSAW
98: Agenda and Presentations
The second Ground System Architectures Workshop (GSAW 98) brings
together users, developers, and researchers for two and one-half
days of discussion and work on issues pertaining to software architectures
for Spacecraft Ground Systems (SGSs). The workshop is being hosted
by The Aerospace Corporation, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force
Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) Ground Systems Integrated
Product Team (GSIPT). This workshop is a part of joint government,
contractor, and vendor efforts to achieve consensus on topics related
to SGS architectures.
The
workshop builds on the success of the first in the series, GSAW97,
which was held in February 1997. GSAW 97 focused on the following
issues:
- 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
GSAW 98 will
focus on issues relating to architectures for SGSs. Participants will
exchange information and discuss issues with the objective of developing
a consensus on the following topics:
- Impact of
software architecture on system interoperability
- Product lines
/ reference architectures for SGSs
- Architecture
evaluation methodologies and criteria
- Space/ground
architecture tradeoffs
- Architectural
issues of COTS and legacy software integration
- Architectural
implications of common operator interfaces
Working groups
will be formed to address the above focus topics. 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 co-sponsored
by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and USAF
Research Lab - Information Directorate. 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 25-27, 1998
