The field of satellite
communications (Satcom) has seen major changes and
new developments in the last few years. Most
notably, we are experiencing the emergence of very
large LEO (low earth orbit) constellations, major
enhancements to space defense, important
developments in earth observation as well as the
required support associated with the new challenges
of space exploration (lunar, planetary etc.)
The traditional GEO (geostationary orbit) satcom
market is facing major changes and challenges. The
technical basis of satcom is highlighted and
examples of important new architectures and
applications are described.
This presentation focuses on non-military
applications.
About the speaker: Dr,
Fernando Nocedal has over 30 years of experience in
the Satcom industry. Has held various positions in
Engineering, Network Operations, Project Management
and Business Development. Most recently, he was the
systems engineer for a major US gov project at
L3Harris. Prior to that he was a regional director
of B.D. at General Dynamics Satcom Technologies. He
holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical
Engineering from Stanford University.

The software that drives
Autonomous Systems, such as robots and self-driving
cars, is hosted on Platforms that can run the
software fast and reliably. The platform may be
broader than just the operating system or
environment in which the software runs. It's the
ecosystem where software is created, deployed, and
maintained on diverse devices. Platform applications
such as the Robot Operating System(ROS) and Docker
serve numerous industries. Most Software Developers
get a platform to add their software, with their new
badge and notepad, to the first day they join a new
employer, thanks to the SW Architect or Platform
team. However, if you want to create a blue-sky
application, you may find yourself unmoored without
an existing platform or adopt one with more than you
bargained for.
This hands-on workshop series will help you build a
minimal and general platform that may be specialized
to your new application. Attendees are encouraged to
bring their laptops and learn by doing. The style of
this workshop is collaborative and conversational.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and experts
alike. The organizers intend to create a space to
help beginners up the learning curve and allow
practitioners to share their best practices.
Attending all workshops is not required but is
recommended.

We will spend the first of the
three sessions setting up a workspace for the
platform. The agenda is as follows.
-
Set up Linux WSL if using a
Windows PC
-
Create Hello World
Workspace
-
Build and execute Hello
World program
-
Set up VS Code to Run and
Debug Hello World
-
Include a dependency on an
external library
-
Use a build tool, such as
Colcon, to manage packages
Register at: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/425994
We will spend the second of the
three sessions building Docker images that define
the packages on which an application runs and
running applications in isolated Docker containers.
The agenda is as follows.
-
Recap and level set on part
1 - Set up your Workspace
-
Install Docker
-
Build an image that
contains the packages required by a software
application using Dockerfile
-
Launch containers based on
multiple images using docker-compose
-
Manage containers using
Docker's Command Line Interface(CLI)
Register at: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/425996
We will spend the last of the
three sessions getting services in a mixed set of
languages to interact with each other in the Robot
Operating System(ROS). The agenda is as follows.
-
Recap and level set on part
1 - Set up your Workspace
-
Recap and level set on part
2 - Containerize Applications
-
Launch Robot Operating
System 2 (ROS2) in a Docker Container
-
Create C++ and Python
Nodes
-
Run multiple nodes
interactively in ROS2
About the facilitator:
Sana Sarfraz specializes in
Perception and Sensor Fusion to deliver actionable
and nuanced information about the scene, whether
it's the weather, the lanes on a highway, or heaps
of garbage.
Her most recent role was at Amp Robotics, where she
developed applications to automate the sortation of
waste into recyclable materials. Before Amp
Robotics, she developed Path Estimation applications
for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), at
Aptiv, which run on many a car on the road. Her
first job, after earning a Master's Degree in
Aerospace Engineering from the Pennsylvania State
University, was to develop Avionic Weather Radar
applications to detect storms, lightning, and
wind-shear, at Collins Aerospace.
She is currently tinkering with platforms to
identify what would work best for the Perception
systems she wants to build. She is an IEEE Senior
Member and volunteers for the IEEE Buenaventura
Section.
