Four technical tracks comprised of up to eight presentations each will be offered. Presentations will tentatively address the following areas of systems engineering: education and research, system architecture, measurement, modeling and tools, processes and materials, applications, initiatives, management, and standards.

Invited panelists from industry, government, and universities will provide their views on Integrating Systems and Software Engineering (S&SE) as practiced today. Remarks will focus on aspects and implementations of S&SE unique to space systems. The panelists will also convey their thoughts on important issues to be addressed as S&SE for space systems is revitalized.
