Mission
The Mission of the Intelligent Systems Technical Committee is fourfold:
- Advance basic principles and fundamental understanding of Intelligent Systems across the full spectrum of aerospace applications through technical publications, technical conferences, discipline working groups, and educational outreach.
- Expand the horizon for aerospace applications of Intelligent Systems through technical discovery, technology and methodology advancements, technical assessments, outreach and advocacy.
- Provide professional development and networking opportunities to TC members and others involved with conception, design, development, testing, deployment, operations, maintenance, and management of intelligent aerospace systems.
- Define, engage and explore interdisciplinary interfaces through inter-TC, and inter-professional initiatives, and the organization of special technical conference sessions, tutorials, working groups and study groups.
Scope
The scope of the Intelligent System Technical Committee includes:
- Civil, commercial and military aerospace systems, and those ground systems that are part of development, test, or operations of aerospace systems.
- Technologies that enable safe, cost-efficient, and reliable operation of highly autonomous complex aerospace, land, and sea systems, or collaborative synthetic-human agent teams.
Intelligent Systems technology areas include, but are not limited to:
| Data fusion | Reasoning and Learning Techniques | Evolutionary (genetic) algorithms | Expert systems | Fuzzy logic |
| Human-machine interaction | Intelligent and adaptive control | Integrated Communication and Navigation | ||
| Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking | Robotics | In-Orbit Servicing | Intelligent data/image processing | |
| Knowledge-based systems and knowledge engineering | Machine learning techniques | Model-based reasoning | ||
| Neural networks | Planning and scheduling algorithms | Qualitative simulation | ||
Duties
Every member of the ISTC has the following ongoing responsibilities:
- Express an interest in activities of ISTC.
- Be responsive to emails or phone calls from the TC Chair and the chairs of the sub-committees of which they are members.
- Take part in, and actively support the projects of, at least two sub-committees.
- Participate actively in TC-wide initiatives (such as Infotech@Aerospace Conference support and JAIS Special Issue paper reviews).
- Commit to being physically present at a minimum of one TC meeting per year and to try to dial into meetings they cannot attend.
- Promote the TC’s activities to their coworkers and colleagues who might have an interest and be on the lookout for opportunities to promote IS technology and applications.
- Report any concerns regarding their participation in the TC or a sub-committee to the TC and/or sub-committee chair.
