We invite workshop proposal submissions for the IEEE International Conference on Space Mission Challenges for Information Technology (SMC-IT) and the IEEE Space Computing Conference (SCC). These events seek to gather professionals, such as system designers, engineers, computer architects, scientists, practitioners, and space explorers, who are committed to advancing information technology and improving the computational capabilities and dependability of space missions. This forum provides a valuable opportunity for in-depth technical dialogues covering various aspects of space mission hardware and software.


Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) space applications of the following:


SMC-IT: Robotics; Flight Software; Cybersecurity; Networking; Memory and Storage; Advanced Ground Control; Data Analytics and Big Data; Fault-Tolerant Processing; Intelligent and Autonomous Systems; Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality and Human-Computer Interaction; Technology for Accessibility in Space; Manufacturing and Assembly of Large Structures; Advanced Computing for Novel Instruments and Improved Operations; Software Reliability for Mission-Critical Applications and Safety of Life; Open-Source for Space Systems.


SCC: High-Performance Onboard Computing; Computing Architectures; Flight Data Processing; Avionics Systems; Machine Learning/Neural Computing; Crew Interfaces; Extreme Environments Computing; Distributed Computing Infusion and Adoption of Industry Standards for Space Applications; Components, Radiation, and Packaging; Overcoming Barriers to Infusing Multicore Systems in Flight.


To submit a workshop proposal, kindly provide a 1-2 page abstract outlining the theme, scope, and objectives of your workshop, along with any prospective speakers you’ve already identified. Also, please ensure that your proposal clearly defines the intended format of the proposed workshop. You should specify whether the workshop format includes presentations only, papers, posters, working sessions or a combination of them. Additionally, please specify your preference for a full-day workshop or one/two half-day time slots. You can access a workshop proposal template at:
