Call for Participation
2010 Workshop on Spacecraft Flight Software (FSW-10)
December 8-10, 2010
Hosted by The Aerospace Corporation, with support from The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the 2010 Workshop on Spacecraft Flight Software (FSW-10) will take place from December 8-10, 2010 at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA.
With the advent of faster processors and advanced hardware architectures, the modern spacecraft is highly reliant upon flight software for mission success. Software is integral to most of the spacecraft subsystems ranging from power to propulsion to instrument operations. Additionally, spacecraft developers are moving beyond providing only infrastructure to creating applications that can revolutionize how these vehicles are operated and how data is processed on-board.
This workshop provides an opportunity to present current flight architectures, novel approaches to mission solutions, and techniques for flight software development, integration, test and verification in an informal and open setting that facilitates communication across organizations and agencies. The following is a list of potential subject areas:
- Flight software engineering and testing
- Autonomy
- Navigation, fault management, & command sequence control
- On-board communication
- Space network protocols
- On-board data processing
- Software modeling, simulation and test-beds
- Spacecraft software architectures
- Guidance and control
- Flight processors and operating systems
- Planning, tasking and execution
- Relation to systems engineering
- Software Verification and Validation
- Lessons learned
This is a PRESENTATION ONLY workshop. No papers are required, although they will be accepted for distribution to fellow attendees.
Presentations MUST NOT contain US Export Controlled information (aka ITAR), and notice of this must be indicated on all presentations.
To register or if you are submitting an abstract, email fsw10@flightsoftware.org indicating whether you would like to attend or present.
There is no fee for attending the workshop, the cost is FREE.
Opportunities are also available for organizations to sponsor the conference, and the dinner round table and birds-of-a-feather discussions. Please contact the organizers for more details (fsw10@flightsoftware.org).
