Title

IAF SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED APPLICATIONS

Description

Space systems are more and more involved in the delivery of global utilitarian services to end-users. The concept of Integrated Applications encompasses the simultaneous use of basic space services and technologies. This symposium, organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), will address various aspects of integrated applications. Integrated applications combine different space systems (Earth observation, navigation, telecommunications, etc) with airborne and ground-based systems to deliver solutions to local, national and global needs. They exploit the synergies between different data sources to provide the right information at the right time to the right user in a cost-effective manner and deliver the data to users in a readily usable form. The goal of the symposium is to enable the development of end-to-end solutions by connecting the user communities that are driving toward end-to-end solutions with those that are developing enabling technologies for integrated applications.
