International Conference On Space Mission Challenges For Information Technology
Pasadena - Nov 12, 2002 The role of space information technology has progressively grown in importance from the earliest days of space exploration to today, with the result that it often dominates the costs and schedules of space mission projects. The International Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology (SMC-IT) is the first forum to gather system designers, engineers, scientists, practitioners, and space explorers for the objective of advancing information technology for space missions. The forum will provide an excellent opportunity for fostering technical interchange on all hardware and software aspects of IT applications in space missions. The conference will focus on current IT practice and challenges as well as emerging information technologies with applicability for future space missions. IT in all aspects of the space mission will be explored, including flight systems, relevant ground systems, science data processing, engineering and development tools, operations, and telecommunications. The entire IT lifecycle of the mission development will also be covered, such as conceptual design, engineering tools development, integration and test, operations, science analysis, and quality control. The conference will be held in the beautiful Southern California city of Pasadena, home of the California Institute of Technology, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Tournament of Roses Parade, which is conveniently located near all popular attractions within the greater Los Angeles area, including Universal Studios, Hollywood, Disneyland, Beverly Hills, and many beaches. Novel space IT papers are solicited from all sectors of the space community, including earth orbiting systems, deep space missions, ground support systems, instruments, science, landers, rovers, and probes. The conference will address all space end application areas, including civilian, military, and commercial. All submitted papers will be peer reviewed in a two-step process, starting with a one-page abstract, and if accepted, following with a 4-8 page manuscript that will be published in a conference proceedings. In addition to orally presented papers, the conference will include panel and poster sessions, tutorials, and an exhibition of the latest commercial products and technologies (industry, research labs, and universities). For further information on participating in these areas, please refer to the conference web site.
