THEME: APPLYING TECHNOLOGY TO OPERATIONAL GOALS

GSAW2006 is the tenth in a series of annual workshops
that explore software and system architecture issues
for spacecraft ground systems. It is the forum for the
world's spacecraft ground system experts to share issues
and solutions with other ground system users, developers,
and researchers through presentations, working groups,
and panel discussions. GSAW2006 will highlight new ideas,
lessons learned, and the identification of common
solutions in the creation, application, and evaluation
of architectures to meet the technological challenges of
ground systems. 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.

GSAW2006 is soliciting presentations covering all aspects
of spacecraft ground systems with a special focus on
collaboration and common solutions. Sessions will address
the areas of methodologies, lessons learned, business cases
and advanced technologies for topics including:


* Architectural representation and analysis
* Standards, interoperability, and systems-of-systems
* Off-the-shelf, open source components, and
software reuse
* Program, risk, and change management
* System security and information assurance
* Mission assurance, test, and integration
* Transformational, net-centric, Internet, and other
communication architectures
* Space and ground trades
* Operations and sustainment
* Emerging ground system technologies
* Automation and integrated services


PLENARY PRESENTATIONS
Presentations will be 15 minutes in length. Submit an
abstract describing the results of your work, work in
progress, or case studies relevant to one or more of the
workshop's focus issues. Abstracts must not exceed two
pages in length plus a cover page and should summarize the
claims, scope, methodology, and generality of the work.
Go to http://sunset.usc.edu/gsaw/plenary.html for submission details.

WORKING GROUPS
Working Groups will be four hours in length on the
afternoon of March 29. Submit a proposal for a working
group session related to any of the focus issues of the
workshop. Go to http://sunset.usc.edu/gsaw/workinggroup.html
for submission details and chair responsibilities.

TUTORIALS
Full and half-day tutorials are being held on March 27, the
day before the regular workshop program begins. We are
seeking proposals for instructive tutorials on topics related
to the GSAW2006 theme and focus issues. Go to 
http://sunset.usc.edu/gsaw/tutorial.html for submission
details.
