--- Satellite Networks: Architectures, Applications, and TechnologiesA Workshop Sponsored by NASA Lewis Research Center
June 2-4, 1998 Location: Sheraton Airport Hotel (Near the Airport and NASA LeRC, easy access to downtown) Cleveland, Ohio
Global satellite networks are moving to the forefront in enhancing the national and global information infrastructures due to communication satellites unique networking characteristics. Simultaneously, the broadband data services are emerging as the major market driver for future satellite and terrestrial networks. The convergence of satellite and terrestrial networks is widely acknowledged as the foundation for an efficient global information infrastructure. In the past two years, around the globe various task forces and working groups have identified pivotal topics and key issues to be addressed for the realization of such networks in a timely fashion. In response, efforts have been undertaken by industry, government, and academia in addressing these topics and issues. There is a need to assess the progress made to date and chart the future.
This workshop will provide the forum to assess the current state-of-the-art, identify key issues, and highlight the emerging trends in the next generation architectures, data protocol development, communication interoperability, and applications. Presentations on overview, state-of-the-art in research, development, deployment and applications and future trends on following topics are solicited as related to satellite networks.
Next Generation Space-based Network Architectures Internet and Intranets Web-Based and Multimedia Applications Emerging Broadband Applications Aeronautical Applications and Architectures NASA Applications of Satellite Communication Networks ATM - Quality of Service, Traffic Management, PNNI Access Techniques (e.g. ALOHA, TDMA, etc.) Advanced Protocol Design and Experimentation (TCP/IP) Reliable and Real-Time Multicasting Interoperability: Space-to-space, Space-to-ground (wireless and wired) and Space-to ground (wireless and wired) Mobility Issues Standard Issues and Development Security and Electronic Commerce Hybrid Video/Data/Voice Format Networks Enabling Space and Ground System Technologies Network Management Network Modeling, Simulation and Performance Evaluation
