AIAA Intelligent Systems Student Paper Competition
|
Papers are sought from either graduate or undergraduate students, either currently enrolled or within six months of graduation, on the following intelligent systems (IS) topics:
- Computational techniques
- Software engineering
- Expert systems
- Intelligent and autonomous systems
- Robotics
- Human–computer interaction
- Knowledge management
- Data fusion
Only students may be authors and the work should not be previously published. Up to four finalists will be selected by a panel of judges for presentation at Infotech@Aerospace. Finalists will present their papers at a special Student Paper Competition session, from which the Best Paper/Presentation will be selected. The winner will be presented with a $1,000 prize and recognized at the conference. All finalists will receive complimentary student registration and a $500 travel expense award. All awards are courtesy of BAE Systems.
Those submissions to the student competition which are not selected as finalists will be submitted to regular sessions as indicated by the student author. Full papers (not abstracts) in the standard AIAA format will be due on 14 October 2006 (length not to exceed 15 pages). Faculty and industry advisors should be recognized in an acknowledgements section of the paper. Authors will be notified on or about 15 December 2006 if their paper is selected either as a finalist or for inclusion in a regular session.
Questions should be referred to the AIAA Intelligent Systems Education Committee Chair, Dr. Mary Cummings, at missyc@mit.edu.

Intelligent Systems Workshop
|
Intelligent systems technologies are enabling air and space missions to be more reliable, more ambitious in scope, and less labor-intensive for human operators. Workload has been reduced in the cockpit with intuitive interfaces and capable software tools to support the flight crew. Unmanned missions are moving toward a model of one operator for multiple vehicles, and direct spacecraft monitoring is required only when an anomaly is detected or a critical activity is in progress. Mission planning software for air and space vehicles is able to reason about and optimize tasks and trajectories for high-risk, high-cost missions. Onboard real-time software can actively process science and surveillance data, while guidance, navigation, and control technologies are becoming more robust via adaptation of models and controllers.
This workshop will bring together a diverse set of experts in intelligent systems (IS) to discuss emerging technological advances and the application of IS technologies to deployed air and space vehicle systems.

Special Forum: Certification of UASs for Operations in the U.S. National Airspace System (NAS)
|
This integrated series of presentations and panel discussions will present multiple balanced perspectives on the past, current, and near-future status of certifying and operating UASs in the NAS. These perspectives will include those of government (FAA, DoD, NASA), industry, and academia. Audience participation in panel discussions will be strongly encouraged.
Session 1: Overview; Evolving the Certification Basis for UAS
Session 2: Recent Experiences in Operations and Experimental Certification of UAS
Session 3: Air Vehicle Issues Impacting Certification of UAS
Session 4: Command, Control, and Communications (C3) for UAS Operations in the NAS
Session 5: Autonomy for UAS Operations in the NAS
Session 6: Detect, Sense, and Avoid (DSA) for UAS Operations in the NAS
Session 7: Technology Milestones Necessary for UAS Certification

Track Gathering
|
|
During Infotech@Aerospace, the Computer Systems and Software Systems TCs of the AIAA are sponsoring a track gathering many spacecraft avionics experts from today's push to create more responsive spacecraft. The track will contain six sessions covering:
1. Standardized Electronics and Software Approaches based on widespread commercial industry experience that will make Responsive Spacecraft and Plug and Play implementations Possible;
2. The Plug side of Plug and Play - standardized hardware and the latest high speed interfaces that may used to plug together and create Responsive Spacecraft Systems; and
3. The Play side of Plug and Play - standardized embedded software and mission planning software to enable Responsive Spacecraft Systems to Play.
Making this gathering especially interesting is the expected interaction between the responsive space avionics community and the intelligent systems technical area who may have some new techniques to apply, as well as the potential application of the spacecraft plug and play avionics to the various UAV systems as the line blurs between spacecraft and aircraft.
