===== Joint SEA/SOIS Special Interest Group Meeting =====

Date: 29 October 2003

Place: SPARTA, Columbia, MD, USA

0900 Introduction
0915 Approval of Agenda

0930 Identification of Requirements

(It is important that all of us have the same understanding on the 
requirements for onboard communications and protocols. Therefore, we 
should review and discuss requirements in the following categories.)

      - Onboard time critical services
      - Onboard transport services
      - Onboard network services
      - Onboard bus services
      - Off-board internetworking services
      - End-to-end internetworking services

1200 Lunch

1300 Evaluation of Candidate Protocols

(Based on the identified requirements, we should evaluate candidate 
protocols to see how they meet the requirements. We may discover areas 
where no existing protocols meet the requirements. In the latter case, 
we should formulate requirements for new protocols.)

      - TCP/IP
      - SCPS-TP/SCPS-NP
      - SpaceWire
      - Thin Transport/Network Protocols
      - Others

1500 Synthesis of a network architecture

(Based on the results of protocol evaluation, we should synthesize an 
architecture to show how the protocols are to be used in space 
missions. This architecture should be based on the Open Systems 
Interconnection Basic Reference Model (OSI-BRM) but we may need to add 
some things to them to accommodate special protocol configurations we 
need.)

1630 Summary
1700 Adjourn

I will distribute a preliminary material for the meeting by the end of 
the week so that you can agree, disagree or make counter-proposals at 
the meeting (or before the meeting).

I look forward to a productive meeting.

Best regards,
Takahiro Yamada, JAXA/ISAS.
