The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and
technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of
technical papers, panel discussions and tutorials of ideas in the field of
satellite communications. It is intended to bring together various satellite
communication systems developers to discuss the current status, technical
challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and
applications in the form of panels and tutorials. IWSSC’06 seeks to address
and capture highly innovative and state of the art research from the
satellite communications industry. 
The scope of the workshop includes a wide range of technical challenges in
view of the growing interest for satellite access to Internet, multi-media
and broadband access to satellite communication systems, the evolution of
future satellite communications with access across hybrid platforms, the
definition of a cross-layer design for improving the efficiency and the
performance of the air interface. 

This event is technically supported by ComSoc. This even is also endorsed by
SatNEx, the European Network of Excellence on Satellite Communications.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

- Standards Status (e.g., ITU, ETSI)
- Hybrid satellite and terrestrial Networks
- Navigation Services
- Reliable Multicast Protocols
- Innovative services through satellite
- TCP Performance over Satellite
- IP on Satellite
- Routing protocols
- Onboard switching and processing technologies
