Ground System Architectures Workshop

Achieving Operationally Responsive Ground Systems

March 31 - April 3, 2008

Preworkshop Tutorials March 31, 2008

Crowne Plaza Hotel, Redondo Beach, CA

Today, new and existing ground systems are being required to become more operationally responsive. We must reduce the time from user request to system response, and rapidly adapt existing ground systems for new capabilities, missions, and interfaces. For GSAW's 12th year, we are looking for professionals with experience and insights into software and system architecture issues for operationally responsive spacecraft ground systems. This is the forum for the world's spacecraft ground system experts to collaborate with other ground system users, developers, and researchers through presentations, working groups, and panel discussions on issues and solutions. GSAW's affiliation with government and civilian organizations provides an unparalleled opportunity to advance the state of practice and research in architectures for spacecraft ground systems.
