Global satellite networks are moving to the
forefront in enhancing the national and global information infrastructures
due to communication satellites' unique networking characteristics.
Simultaneously, broadband data services are emerging as the major
market driver for future satellite and terrestrial networks. The
convergence of satellite and terrestrial networks is widely acknowledged
as the foundation for an efficient global information infrastructure. In
the past two years, various task forces and working
groups around the globe have identified pivotal topics and key issues to be addressed for
the realization of such networks in a timely fashion. In response, efforts
have been undertaken by industry, government, and academia in addressing
these topics and issues. There is a need to assess the progress made to
date and chart the future.
This workshop provides a forum to assess the
current state-of-the-art, identify key issues, and highlight the emerging
trends in the next generation architectures, data protocol development,
communication interoperability, and applications.
