Session 11A: Architecture-Centric Evolution (ACE) Working Group 2010
Chairs: Sheri Benator, Sergio Alvarado, Phil Schmidt, Eric Dashofy, John Arcos, Mark Nixon, Scott Hendrickson, The Aerospace Corporation; Jeff Estefan, Jet Propulsion Laboratory
The Architecture-Centric Evolution (ACE) Working Group Session is the eighth of a GSAW series to promote
the central role of software architectures during the acquisition and development of software-intensive
systems. The ACE Session provides a forum for software-intensive system experts, users, developers, and
researchers to collaborate and elucidate high-level recommendations for improving the representation, development,
and analysis of software architectures. This year’s topic will be “Innovative Approaches to Software
Architecture Development and Analysis.” The working group focus will be on innovative approaches in
developing and analyzing software architectures, both those applied (along with experiences and lessons
learned) and those in early or research stages. There will be several presentations on a range of topics from
government, industry, and academia as well as questions and discussions addressing the current state of
software architecture practice and lessons learned and the promise and pitfalls of model based techniques.
The working group will cover such topics as:
•
Evolution of GPS Control Segment as related to SW architecture
•
Role of software architecture as part of the NASA study on software complexity
•
Evolution of a SOA C2 System – SW architecture, challenges, & lessons learned
•
Use of new software development tools/strategies to enhance ability to deploy ground systems from
product lines
•
Quantitative Architectural Modeling and Analysis Using AADL
•
Fault tolerant architectures: discussion of techniques ensuring system operation during periods of high loading and/or component failure
•

Session 11B: Ground Space Technology Innovation within Agencies, Universities, and Industry—Same Purposes and Results?
Chair: Nestor Peccia, European Space Agency/ESOC
Ground system innovations have several objectives including the ability to:
•
contribute to, encourage, and advance an overall innovation process of the space ground system
sector
•
support national autonomy and maintain technical excellence in core activities
•
prepare and enable more capable and cost effective ground space programmes
•
develop new competencies and support competitiveness of industry in the global commercial market
Different ground teams have different needs and visions when considering innovation and its
competitiveness aspects, such as:
•
Improved cost/benefit to user
•
Reduced response time to market
•
More cooperation between universities and industry (industry pull instead of science push)
•
Patents
•
Indicators/best practices/benchmarking
•
New applications and markets
•
Research
The main goal of the working group will be to provide a forum for space agencies, industry, and universities
to discuss their ground system innovation strategies.

Session 11C: Mission Assurance Workshop for Ground Systems
Chairs: Julia White, Al Hoheb, The Aerospace Corporation
Mission assurance for space equipment and space systems has a relatively large body of work for guidance
and compliance. These do not make clear which portions would be applicable to ground systems.
Thus, ground system developers rarely use this body of work at all. We need to devise a strategy to adapt
general purpose mission assurance techniques to apply specifically to ground systems.
The workshop will first provide an overview of the mission assurance body of knowledge and then identify
the range of work that applies to ground systems. The interactive part will be to work on identifying
holes in the work and potential remedies as a set of sub-teams. Teams will report out as part of the
workshop results.

Session 11D: Data Center Migration for Ground Systems: Geospatial Clouds
Chair: Craig Lee, The Aerospace Corporation
This session will explore the use of cloud computing to support ground system requirements. Broadly
speaking, cloud computing entails the dynamic provisioning of processing, storage, and networks from
a data center to essentially become a generic hosting environment. Cloud computing offers the potential
for significant economies of scale, improved utilization of servers, more flexible allocation of resources,
and workload management. Significant challenges, however, are also present, such as performance,
security, and the lack of standards. For satellite ground systems, there is an additional dimension of
managing geospatially referenced data through common tools.

Session 11E: Flight Software Ground System Impacts
Chairs: Alan Unell, Robert Pettit, The Aerospace Corporation
A short session to discuss developmental and operational impacts of flight software on the ground system.
This session will expand the work done in GSAW2008 and GSAW2009. There are significant areas
where flight software impacts the ground—telemetry, increasing vehicle telemetry, and the increased
involvement in the ground to support poorly designed and tested software. In particular, the discussion
should try to elicit techniques that foster more collaboration between space and ground to minimize
negative impacts.

Session 11F: Future Ground System Software Estimation and Metrics
Chairs: Barry Boehm, USC Systems Engineering Research Center; Bradford Clark, USC and SW Metrics; Ray Madachy, Navy PGS; Wilson Rosa, AF Cost Analysis Agency
Future ground system software will have more complex sources of size and effort such as its use of model-driven and other types of software generators; its use of net-centric services; its involvement in systems of systems and families of systems; its need to more rapidly adapt to change; and its involvement in
evolutionary acquisition and more agile methods. These bring with them the need for a next generation
of software metrics and estimation methods, such as the incremental development productivity decline
factor for estimating the reduction in productivity for later increments in evolutionary or incremental
development. USC is working with the Air Force Cost Analysis Agency on the definition of such estimation
methods and metrics, and on the development of a guidebook including their definition and use in
first-order productivity estimation for various classes of software, including ground systems software. This
working group will review and iterate drafts of these definitions and estimation factors for ground system
software.

Session 12A: Compatible Satellite C2—Progress and Challenges
Chairs: Ron Nishinaga, Don Sather, The Aerospace Corporation
The Joint Satellite Compatibility Committee, consisting of the NRO, AFSPC, NASA, and ORS, was formed at the last GSAW conference with a goal of addressing common command and control issues across the
government space organizations. Principals from these organizations will discuss accomplishments, progress,
and challenges towards establishing a compatible satellite bus command and control framework.
This architecture will enable development of future satellite C2 capabilities that can be shared among
programs with reduced acquisition cost and increased operational efficiency.

Session 12C: Special GSAW-SPIN-INCOSE Event
TOPIC: “Early Identification of Systems Engineering-Related Risks”
This session is co-sponsored by the Southern California Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) and the Los Angeles Chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE-LA).
Speakers: Barry Boehm, Dan Ingold, University of Southern California
Complex programs need effective systems engineering (SE) to succeed. Managers of these programs
need early warning of any risks to achieving effective SE. A recent Systems Engineering Research Center
(SERC) project synthesized a lean framework and toolset for early identification of SE-related program
risks.
Unlike traditional schedule-based and event-based reviews, the SERC SE technology enables sponsors
and performers to agree on the nature and use of more effective evidence-based reviews. These reviews
enable early detection of missing SE capabilities or personnel competencies with respect to a SERC
Framework of Goals, Critical Success Factors, and Questions.
