Participation at 3rd International Conference on Managing Knowledge for Space Missions
June 24, 2010
Sapienza recently participated in this key conference attended by both leading space agencies and industry to explore the many ways in which knowledge and information are managed in the space sector. In all Sapienza presented three talks based on our experience gained and technical research conducted in order to provide optimised software solutions that allow the sharing of knowledge between ESA and its industrial partners.
The talks presented were:
- Eclipse, an Emerging, Standardize, Modular, Secure and Affordable Software Toolset in Support of Product Assurance, Quality Assurance and Project Management for the Entire European Space Sector
This talk focused on the roll out and implementation of Eclipse both within ESA and industrial partners such as OHB. ECLIPSE provides an answer to the many faceted needs of the PA-QA and project management office in space projects, from planning to execution where sparse teams need to collaborate in a controlled way. Through its modularity and scalability ECLIPSE can be deployed as one integrated suite of tools or as stand alone modules. Simple, easy to use, with a low cost of ownership, operation and support. - Domain-specific Mapping of Relational Databases to Semantic Web
Presented the findings of our research into Semantic Web and in particular mapping semantic queries to a relational database (such as SQL) to enable connections to be made between various information blocks and thereby creating a knowledge field around the database. - Nonconformance Tracking System (NCTS): Supporting ESA's Nonconformance Management Process
Presented the status and deployment of Sapienza widely used NCTS application that allows ESA and Industry to track critical Product assurance information and thereby building knowledge about the identification and disposition of non-conformances of satellites components - Knowledge Management in Support to the ESA End-to-End Technology R&D Process
ESA presented their experience in this area through the use of the Sapienza ESTER (European Space Technology Requirements Document) application.
The conference was held at the European Space Agency's ESOC facility in Darmstadt, Germany and was attended by over 50 people.
