                        at ESOC, Darmstadt, Germany.

Last year's workshop held on 15th and 16th June 2004 at ESOC hosted approx.
39 presenters from various European companies and attracted more than 140
attendees.

We expect that the EGOS Workshop 2005 will be even more successful with
extended duration and many interesting topics around Ground Segment
Architecture, Dual Technologies (for civilian and military applications),
Network of Centres, European Technology Harmonisation on Ground Software
Systems, Simulator Infrastructure, Mission Control Systems, Back-End Systems
and EGSE.
