SMC-IT 2006 will continue its focus on current IT practice and challenges as well as emerging information technologies with applicability for future space missions. IT in all aspects of the space mission will be explored, especially those of a cross-cutting multi-disciplinary nature. This includes ground systems, science data processing, software engineering and reliable software, engineering and development tools, modeling and simulation methods, human and robotic systems interfaces, high performance computing, autonomous systems, image processing and visualization, operations, and telecommunications. The entire IT lifecycle of mission development will also be covered, such as conceptual design, engineering tools development, integration and test, operations, science analysis, quality control, and outreach.
