    CNES and various international agencies have to cope with the increasing number of space fragments, which are a threat to on-going satellite missions. Collision avoidance management is a collaborative, cross-team, and international activity. Currently, engineers in such teams are assisted with several non-integrated software tools, which have not been developped to support collaborative work. Currently, collision risks are increasing with the number of space fragments. And the available tools are becoming insufficient to assist the teams to manage collision avoidance.

    Project page

    2002-10-01 to 2006-10-01

    The engineering of interactive, safety-critical systems is an inter-disciplinary endeavor. This creates a number of practical problems for many different industries. Organizations must integrate techniques and methods for many different disciplines. These range from hardware engineering through to human factors and management. The difficulty of achieving such integration stems in part from a mutual ignorance about these complementary disciplines, in part from a lack of methods in certain areas and in part from a failure to effectively integrate existing methods and techniques. We believe that the only way to solve such a problem is to have a tight integration of research contributions from all the disciplines relevant to the problem, namely:
