[CMC] Presentations at IOAG-11

[Adrian J. Hooke]

Materials that will be presented at IOAG-11 are now available on the 
IOAG public website, http://www.ioag.org. There are several strong 
opinions voiced there that will no doubt drive discussions at the CMC 
meeting in Brussels.

Several of the presentations address the Cross Support Service 
Architecture, which is being led in the IOAG by JAXA. In response to 
JAXA's conceptual definition, NASA has recently formed a Consolidated 
Network Services Team to create a top level service based 
architecture that is intended to steer the future evolution of NASA's 
three mission support networks (SN, GN, DSN).  You can find the NASA 
Service Architecture proposal at:

You will note that NASA makes several recommendations to the IOAG 
which, if adopted, will have significance to CCSDS. In addition, NASA 
has made a very healthy long-term resource commitment to support 
future development of this architecture and associated standards and 
experimental deployments. I will present the current status at the 
upcoming CMC meeting in Brussels, and I would encourage other CCSDS 
Agencies to seriously consider joining this renewed thrust towards 
developing the necessary standards to facilitate future cross support.
