Inc. American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Tutorials Listed below are the days and times for this year's tutorials. Digital Avionics Systems has been moved to Monday morning from Sunday afternoon. The tutorial presents the overall system considerations as well as the theory behind the systems. The tutorial introduces the concept of a reference model and associated uses, a description of the model s hierarchical layering of functionality, the rational for hierarchical architecture abstraction, the concepts of direct and logical interfaces, and the definition of all nine GOA Framework interface classes. This tutorial covers both theory and practice for system engineering of spacecraft command, telemetry, and data processing systems.
Emphasis is on the important system engineering principles, tradeoffs, and practical rules of thumb.
The latest technologies are covered, with emphasis on reliability and survivability in the space radiation environment. Cost and cycle time reduction and shareholder value are watchwords and ever more in demand of the vehicle. Systems Engineering, when done properly, provides an approach to maximize business and customer value through people, processes, organizational concepts and tools. This course has been developed over more than 20 years on eight commercial airplane programs, defense programs and a cutting edge new Boeing business, and has been taught around the world. Topics include business strategy, decision and risk analysis, safety, a real-world lifecycle, deliverables, Intellectual Capital , control gates, standards and cultural change.
