Elad Kivelevitch Kelly Cohen Adnan Yucel Soon Jo Chung

Accomplishments over the past year• For the first time, we have been integrated into the

Scitech forum. We represent about 6% of the papers Infotech is the 5th largest entity at Scitech

• Increased transparency on when sessions are scheduled…more TC participation

• Maximized deconfliction…no more than two ISTC sessions at any time…often just one ISTC session

What are your goals for next year?• Make the interaction with other conference chairs a little

easier• Implement requirement for larger (5 page) abstracts in

the Scitech 2016 Call for Papers• Increase the rejection rate of abstracts to improve quality

of papers and presentations Intent is to make it comparable to other Scitech

conferences, such as GNC

Challenges/Observations• Don’t know yet who will be tapped to be the Technical

Program Chair for Infotech in 2016 If we knew, we’d be mentoring now Have heard that Sanjay may want to do this As long as 50% of the sessions come from ISTC,

probably good to have an ISTC member do this• Perhaps Kelly should approach Sanjay

Scitech 2015 Call for PapersInformation Systems – Infotech@Aerospace The Information Systems—Infotech@Aerospace segment of the SciTech2015 technical program provides a collaborative opportunity to share technical insight by professionals from Computer Systems, Communications Systems, Digital Avionics, Information and Command and Control Systems, Intelligent Systems, Sensor Systems, Software, and Unmanned Systems. General questions regarding the Information Systems—Infotech@Aerospace segment of SciTech2015 should be addressed to the Technical Program Chair, Chris Tschan. Intelligent Systems Papers are sought in all areas of application of Intelligent System (IS) technologies and methods to aerospace systems, the verification and validation of these systems, and the education of the AIAA membership in the use of IS technologies in aerospace and other technical disciplines. The systems of interest include both military and commercial aerospace systems, and those ground systems that are part of test, development, or operations of aerospace systems. Technologies which enable safe and reliable operation of complex aerospace systems or sub-systems with minimal or no human intervention (autonomy), or collaborative synthetic-human agent teams are of interest. These include, but are not limited to: autonomous and expert systems, discrete planning/scheduling algorithms, intelligent data/image processing, learning and adaptive techniques, data fusion and reasoning, and knowledge engineering. Specific topics of interest are listed below. • Learning, Reasoning and Data Driven Systems• Human - Automation Interaction• Probabilistic and Rule-Based Systems• Adaptive and Intelligent Control Systems• Integrated Systems Health Management (ISHM)• Please direct questions to: Kevin Kochersberger

Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference PLEASE SUBMIT DRAFT PAPERS, NOT EXTENDED ABSTRACTS. Papers covering all aspects of guidance, navigation, and control of aerospace systems may be submitted. Specifically, papers should describe novel analytical techniques, applications, and technological developments in areas such as: the guidance, navigation, and control of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, robotics, and other aerospace systems; general aviation; in-flight system architecture and components; navigation and position location; sensors and data fusion; multi disciplinary control; and GN&C concepts in air traffic control systems and high-speed flight. • Control Theory, Analysis, and Design• Intelligent Control in Aerospace Applications• Mini/Micro Air Vehicle Guidance, Navigation, and Control• Aircraft Guidance, Navigation, and Control• Guidance, Navigation, and Control Concepts in Air Traffic Control Systems• Missile Guidance, Navigation, and Control• Space Exploration and Transportation Guidance, Navigation, and Control• Spacecraft Guidance, Navigation, and Control• Multi-Vehicle Control• Aerospace Robotics and Autonomous/Unmanned Systems• Human and Autonomous/Unmanned Systems• Sensor Systems for Guidance, Navigation, and Control• Novel Navigation, Estimation, and Tracking Methods• Invited Sessions • Please direct questions to: John Reed

Recommendation for Scitech 2016

Recommendations for ISTC:• ISTC decide what type of larger submissions you’d prefer for Infotech 2016• ISTC draft the Intelligent Systems portion of the Infotech Call for Papers• ISTC draft the introductory paragraph of the Infotech 2016 Call for Papers to ensure it

reflects what is at the technical discipline levelRecommendations for Infotech 2015 technical program chair:• Talk with ISG Director to determine who the Infotech 2016 technical program chair will be• Discuss the proposed changes for Scitech 2016 with ISG Director• Ensure draft call for paper changes get incorporated into the Scitech 2016 Call for Papers
