About the Conference:

The proliferation of micro-satellites has made space affordable and accessible to many people. Space technology, therefore, spans a broad area of research and development, from electronic components for satellites to intelligent systems for on-board data analysis. Most of the satellites face the Earth rather than the outer space. From home electricity meter readings to disaster monitoring, surveillance and crop forecast, satellites play a very important role now in our daily lives. It has also become increasingly important to signal/image processing researchers and intelligent systems scientists that one has to gain a lot by considering the whole pipeline of data collection, data processing, conclusions drawing, actions taken, rather than try to solve individual problems in isolation. For example, there is no point in developing intelligent robotic systems to operate on-board a satellite if they rely on resources well beyond what one can place on a satellite. There is no point in developing intelligent systems for early fire detection from space, if the orbit of the satellite is not designed to allow frequent coverage of the monitored area.

This conference is designed to bring together people who work on different aspects of space technology research, in hope that the interactions along this chain of activity will be facilitated and enhanced.
