B5. IAF SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED APPLICATIONS
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 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.

B5.1. Tools and Technology in Support of Integrated Applications
The session will focus on specific systems, tools and technology in support of integrated applications and address the various issues associated with the design of space and ground systems, the kind of data they collect, how they collect data, and how the data are integrated and distributed to address key user needs. Possible topics include: ground-truthing of space data; innovative, low-cost tools for space data distribution and access; new ways of distributing integrated data products; data fusion and visualization tools especially those using COTS systems; managing integrated applications programmes; education and outreach for integrated programmes, etc…

B5.2. Integrated Applications End-to-End Solutions
The session will be a forum for end-to-end solutions, including case studies, proof-of-concept missions, and current projects that provide, or could provide, innovative user-driven solutions. Applications that combine ground- and space-based data sources with models to address specific user requirements will be presented. These examples can cover a variety of domains, like disaster/crisis monitoring and management, energy, food security, space situational awareness, transportation, health, etc. The user needs, the structure of the user communities, the value chain, the business case and the sustainability of the solutions are among the many aspects that can be considered. Examples of projects with established partnerships and fluent working relationships between space and non-space stakeholders.

B5.3. Satellite Commercial Applications
This session solicits papers pertinent to emerging Integrated Commercial Space-based Satellite Applications. We encourage papers which focus on aspects of for-profit/commercial satellite applications, including innovative business models, case analyses, product discussions, and uses. Integrated applications have long dealt with Atmosphere, Ecosphere, Environment, and other domains, funded by space agencies and the public sector, or public-private partnerships. Today, new applications include not only satellite communications, but a whole range of new technologies, new potential customers, and new business models which can bring successful for-profit enterprises into the space community to serve a wide-range of customers.
