Following on the previous ESA Workshop on Spacecraft Data Systems and Software (SDSS) and preceding the 2008 GNC Conference, the Avionics Data, Control and Software Systems workshop (ADCSS) integrates, in the form of a set of round tables, relevant avionics aspects from these disciplines. This provides an opportunity for a multi-disciplinary review of not only common avionics systems issues, but also techniques and technologies, and shall facilitate the consolidation of related R&D roadmaps.

Organisation
The Workshop is organised as a collection of Round Tables, on the following topics:

Avionics Reference Architectures	NEW: 4 October (instead of 2 October)
Integrated Modular Avionics	3 October
