Objectives

The objective is to promote dialogue on Software Product and Quality Assurance matters within the space community, and exchange ideas with industry and academia from other domains such as automotive, railway, aviation, medical etc. 

Based on the experience of the previous workshops we are primarily interested in addressing the following areas for ground, launch and space segments:

• Software and FPGA Product Assurance
• Cyber Security
• Mission classification
• Software dependability and safety, ECSS tailoring
• Software development tools, frameworks and methodologies
• Agile, scaled agile
• Continuous Integration/Quality/Security/Delivery and software factory
• Model based software engineering, automatic code generation
• Machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence
• Fault detection, isolation and recovery techniques, on-board autonomy
• Quality models, metrication programs, data quality, managing technical debt
• Cloud computing and virtualization (Infrastructure-, Software-, Space Data as a Service)
• Software re-use, open-source software, software licencing, configuration management
• Software process assessment for Large System Integrators and Very Small Entities
• Software assurance in New Space, SmallSat and CubeSat projects
• Software assurance in (mega)constellations
• Product assurance in science missions (e.g., mission planning, data processing and data archiving)
