Working Group G
Tailoring Ground Software Standards Towards Automation and Augmentation 

 

 Wednesday – February 26, 2025
1:00 PM – 5:00 PM PT

Description

 Ground software development standards, especially IEEE 12207:2017 – Software life cycle processes, are way overdue for updates to accommodate modern practices. This working group is looking forward to presenting the potential changes to these standards and to hearing feedback and suggestions from the industry.  

 Proposed Format: The working group will use a variety of techniques to accomplish the objectives laid out in the purpose statement above.  

    • Discussion Panel (30 Minutes) – presentations on current IEEE 12207 structure and roadmap to update the standard. 
    • Small Group Exercise – I (~1 Hours) – participants will be organized into small groups to identify outdated approaches and constraints that should be removed from the standards
    • Small Group Exercise- II (~2 Hours) – participants will be organized into small groups to investigate modern approaches and identify what specific practices should be added to the standards. Topics may include, but not limited to modern platforms, cyber-forward implementation, AI/ML driven development, digital engineering / digital twin, data engineering, continuous integration / continuous delivery, user-centric design approaches, and visualization / mixed reality.
