Apr12-cesg-3 1. Application Support Services WG 2. Wireless WG 3. Subnetwork Services WG (Inactive) SOIS Area Report - Current Working Groups The SOIS area covers onboard communication services with the intention of standardising H/W and S/W interfaces between avionics elements & devices. Wireless activities cover intra-spacecraft communication, AIV and RFID A considerable part of our work is outside of the CCSDS where we perform a harmonising role for avionics related development

Apr12-cesg-5 Application Support Services WG (cont.) Progress All SOIS service specifications are either published or in Agency review process The specifications are compatible with several existing architectures (ESA, NASA, AFRL) After WG analysis the use of electronic data sheets and associated schema to define device interfaces, has been assessed as providing great benefits not just within SOIS but in a much wider context (data driven interfaces, spacecraft data base import, auto testing etc) The intention to define standard functional interfaces within the SOIS has been de- scoped as this is better left to external groups Planning Publish remaining Green and Magenta Books Issue new CWE projects for Electronic Data Sheets & Common dictionary or terms Continue fortnightly telecons SOIS Area Report

Apr12-cesg-9 Cross Area Meetings: SOIS APP and MOIMS SM&C SOIS presentation on use of Electronic Data Sheets in spacecraft development process - Definition of interface to devices (send/receive), not device functionality Discussion on where data from Electronic Data Sheets are used, e.g. spacecraft database, device simulators, TM/TC databases Exploration as to what structures XTCE & MO Services MAL have that are of benefit for use in Electronic Data Sheets SOIS Area Report

Apr12-cesg-10 SOIS WGs Telecon Usage SLS WGInput Wireless WG The Wireless WG has had regular telecons since its inception. This is on average every two week. This will be continued APPS WG The Application support WG hold regular telcons on average 1 per month. It was agreed at this meeting that the telecons would be increased to every two weeks.

Apr12-cesg-11 ASWG DDPS and MTS CESG rid updates prior to publication FPSS under publication DAS under publication Green Book Issue 2 under publication DVS, DES ready for agency review Electronic data sheets work initiated Wireless WG RFID Magenta under publication Low rate wireless Magenta book ready for Agency review export and ITAR clearance for test-bed cooperation under signature Green book issue 2 under development Comment: The SOIS area has sufficient funding for this year and intentions are good for the future. Fortunately, we are supported by independent Agency activities which allows the CCSDS work to proceed with minimum effort. SOIS Area Report: Summary
