Information Systems Group - Overview
Goals• Grow the recognition of IS people, groups, and focus in AIAA• Work to ensure that all TCs are active. • Encourage ISG TC members to apply for higher level
membership status (Fellow and Associate Fellow) Can Fellow process be improved to better recognize the work of IS members.
• Work with AIAA to develop working guidelines for domestic and international co-sponsored conferences.
• Develop a student competition that features ISG technologies.

Information Systems Group – Recent Accomplishments
• Sanjay Garg, ISG Director, stepped down in early 2015; • Jim Rankin was approved as the new ISG Director until the next
election in 2016.• The Infotech@Aerospace was part of SciTech 2015• ISG TCs are involved in SPACE 2015
Information Systems and Software track with 7 technical sessions (3 joint with Space Systems Engineering and Economics) and 1 poster session

Information Systems Group – TC Status
• Communications Systems – Very Active TC consists of 40 (members) - 25 US, 14 International, and 1 Alumni Member Organizes AIAA International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC)
• Computer Systems – Active but needs to grow The limit on conference attendance has hurt the TC’s meeting attendance Working to realign TC interests with member interests. Collaborative with TCs in HPC and Modeling areas
• Digital Avionics – Very Active 42 members, 6 are international Active in SciTech, ICNS, and DASC conferences Established a $25k scholarship at U of Louisiana – Lafayette
• Information, Command & Control Systems – Struggling No Annual Report submitted.

Information Systems Group – TC Status (contd.)
• Intelligent Systems TC – Very Active 32 regular, 6 Associate, 4 International, and 8 Alumni members Two mtgs in 2015 (SCITECH 2015 and the ISTC Summer Workshop in August
2015) Second Intelligent Systems workshop held August 5-7, 2015 at NASA Ames
Research Center in Mountain View, CA. • Sensor Systems and Information Fusion TC – Active
Total membership 22, which includes 2 Associate, 3 International, and 0 Alumni. Working on membership recruiting and building relationships with other TCs
• Software TC – Active Total membership of the committee is 25, which includes 2 Associate, 0
International, and 0 Alumni. Formed the Aviation Cybersecurity WG (see later slides) Involved in SciTech and Space Forums

Information Systems Group – Conferences
• Infotech@Aerospace Conference firmly established at SciTech Forum Misty Davies and Terry Morris leading in 2016; Terry Morris will lead in 2017
• SPACE: Mitch Ingham lead in 2015; continued presence in 2016 & beyond• AVIATION: ISG members gave papers but not strongly branded as ISG• International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC) –
CMSTC held with Space Forum in even years, and outside US in odd years ICSSC co-sponsored or co-organized with AIAA in even years; agreement for 2015 Various issues with CMSTC/ICSSC; currently being worked with TAC/AIAA
• Digital Avionics System Conference (DASC) and Integrated Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (ICNS) – Digital Avionics TC Stand alone – co-sponsored by AIAA. In good health
• ISSUE – Is AIAA leveraging the value from co-sponsoring conferences?

Information Systems Group – Moving Forward Plan
• Continue to strengthen I@A –well established procedure for selecting leadership team, updating call for papers, documenting best practices etc.
• Have visible ISG participation at other forums – Aviation, Space, Defense• Continue to work with TC Chairs to strengthen Computer Systems and ICCS
TCs• Work with AIAA/TAC leadership to address co-sponsored conferences issues• Look into establishing a Working Group on “Big Data Analytics for Aerospace”• Aerospace world is “multi-disciplinary”. Will like to have greater partnership
with other Groups for joint sessions at forums – any suggestions? Good model: 3 SPACE 2015 sessions on Model-Based Systems Engineering, joint with
Space Systems Engineering and Economics track
• Intelligent Systems TC (ISTC) is currently developing a roadmap for the intelligent systems in aerospace – will be shared as possible Public Policy key issue.
