Third
Ground System Architectures Workshop

GSAW
99: Agenda and Presentations
GSAW 99 is the
third in a series of annual workshops that facilitate exploration
of issues and potential for consensus in software architectures
for spacecraft ground systems (SGSs). The annual GSAW provides a
forum for SGS users, developers, and researchers to share their
experiences through presentations, working groups, and panel discussions.
Emphasis is on the dissemination of new ideas and lessons learned
in the creation, application, and evaluation of software architectures
that meet the technological challenges of SGS development.
As in previous
years, the workshop will be hosted by The Aerospace Corporation
in cooperation with the Ground Systems Integrated Product Team (GSIPT)
of the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC). The
GSAW series is partially supported by the Center for Software Engineering
of the University of Southern California (USC-CSE) and by the Evolutionary
Design of Complex Software (EDCS) Program of the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the U.S. Air Force Research
Laboratory Information Directorate. GSAW 99's affiliation with government
and civilian institutions makes this workshop a unique opportunity
to advance the state of practice and research in software architectures
for SGSs.
Technical sessions
of GSAW 99 will focus on the role of software architectures on the
development, operation, and maintenance of reusable and evolvable
SGSs. Specific issues to be addressed include the following:
- Technologies
and methodologies needed to support the architecture-based development
of reusable and evolvable SGSs.
- Cost-benefit
evaluation of architecture-based development with respect to planning
and the life cycle of SGSs.
- Approaches
and barriers to achieving consensus on the technological, business-case,
and organizational issues of common architectures.
- Positive
and negative experiences in the development of reusable and evolvable
SGSs using architectures based on product lines, COTS, government
products, and reference models.
- Impact of
evolving standards and standards profiles, such as CORBA, UML,
and JTA, on the development of SGSs and their integration across
multiple organizations.
These topics
will be discussed in presentations within general sessions and in
working-group sessions at the workshop. All presentations
as well as summaries of the working groups will be published in
both the hardcopy and electronic versions of the GSAW 99 proceedings.
