Abstract Submission Deadline: August 18th, 2017

We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the Fifth Federated and Fractionated Satellite Systems Workshop to be held on 2-3 November 2017 at ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse, France. Federated and Fractionated satellite systems are new concepts in space systems design aiming at creating a commercial cloud-computing environment to enable sharing and trading of in-space resources between . Federated exchange resources such as link capacity, processing capability and storage capacity. This exchange improves the efficiency utilization of spacecraft resources and makes use of unallocated resource margins of participating missions. In a commercial perspective, the federated satellite systems concept allows the creation of new markets of in-space resources, among other benefits in spacecraft cost, performance, and reliability. Researchers started to explore benefits and costs of a federated approach to spacecraft design, and several research avenues have just started opening in this field.

This workshop aims to forge links to create a multidisciplinary and international research and industrial community that will follow novel approaches to innovate the way in which spacecraft missions are conceived, designed, implemented, and operated. It is through this process that we will create transformational new space science and technology.

Information concerning the fee for attending this event, as well as links for hotel information, etc. will be made available shortly.

Topics of interest to the workshop include, but are not limited to:

Heterogeneous spacecraft networks Plug and play space hardware Distributed space systems, Emerging space network concepts. Distributed decision making and spacecraft Space . cooperation Cloud computing concept transfer Satellite Distributed processing Resource management under uncertainty and Inter-satellite-link payloads network scheduling Optical space communications Advanced space system concepts and architectures distributed and collaborative networks Business case studies based on space infrastructures Space communication protocols development and Small satellite distributed and collaborative networks standardization Concurrent engineering approaches to federated Free-space power transmission systems design Fractionated spacecraft

Call for papers: • Papers of up to ten pages describing research and concepts related to the mentioned topics • The template to be used will be made available on the workshop website as of June 1st, 2017. • Submission online at www.fssworkshop.com or by email to [email protected] • Deadline August 18th, 2017.
