COMMUNICATION

Information concerning NASA/ESA PDE Workshops is distributed via the (low-volume, moderated) pde-announce mailing list. To subscribe please go to: http://lists.nasa.gov/mailman/listinfo/pde-announce


AGENDA

Notes to all presenters:

Abstracts should be submitted on-line by 1 April 2011 22 April 2011 at the latest (absolute final deadline!), at the PDE 2011 Participant Services web site -- note that you must register for the workshop in order to access the web site: On-line Workshop Registration.

Late abstracts will be accepted only if time and space permit. After the workshop, the papers and presentations will be published on this website. Presentations should address general interest, should have substantial technical content, and should not be of a commercial nature. People considering participation are welcome to contact the organizers with ideas for presentations and/or demonstrations.

SCOPE

You are invited to participate in the 13th NASA-ESA Product Data Exchange (PDE) Workshop, which is jointly organized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA).

We continue to build on the heritage of twelve highly successful annual workshops. The workshop venue alternates between the US and Europe. Over the years the workshop scope has evolved from focusing mainly on ISO 10303 / STEP standards to a much broader range of technologies and standards for the exchange and sharing of data, e.g XML/XSD, SysML, OWL, MDA, UPDM. The final goal remains the same: to facilitate and improve collaboration between organizations and disciplines to achieve highly efficient and effective product life cycles for the development and operation of complex systems. High quality, reliable and robust electronic data exchange is an essential enabler.

The program will be similar to previous PDE workshops: an opening evening reception followed by three days of presentations, plenary keynotes and discussions, networking opportunities, and "birds of a feather" meetings. There is also the possibility for companies to exhibit related products. The detailed program will be made available on the workshop website.

Note: The workshop was also known in previous years as "The STEP for Aerospace Workshop" and "The Aerospace Product Data Exchange (APDE) Workshop". For information on all previous editions and to download their presentations please visit http://step.nasa.gov.
