Start Here for Space: Advances in Computing Reach Orbit

Originally aired on: March 9, 2022

Digital transformation is upon us. The advancement of technology has changed our way of life drastically, and we are just beginning to get an understanding of its impact. How will it change the future of space? Join us as we explore digital transformation around sustainability, risk management, and national security as it enables us to design, deploy and engage the digital world while leveraging digital transformation to spark innovation and growth in the space industry. The role of software in the next generation of spacecraft was a key topic at 2023’s Space Symposium.

Speakers

Mr. Dean Bucher is the Principal Director of Digital Engineering Integration at The Aerospace Corporation, where he leads the digital engineering (DE) transformation of Aerospace. In this role, Mr. Bucher is responsible for providing strategic direction to all corporately funded DE initiatives and ensuring that these efforts are highly integrated to contribute to the broader strategic vision for digital engineering. He also works across numerous, emerging customer DE efforts to better identify opportunities and integrate these for the benefit of the National Security Space (NSS) and Civil Space enterprises. Mr. Bucher joined The Aerospace Corporation in 2005 as a Member of the Technical Staff. He holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Missouri and an MS in Aerospace Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and he is currently pursuing a PhD in Systems Engineering from Colorado State University.

John Silvas joined Booz Allen in June 1998 and is a Distinguished Engineer in the Aerospace Account that currently supports the USSF Space C2 Kobayashi Maru Program Office and the Enterprise Engineering Team in El Segundo, CA. John is also the Booz Allen Director for Digital Engineering leading a distributed team of highly talented Digital Engineers that are implementing cutting edge MBSE methods, techniques, and tools in support of numerous clients across the DoD and other Federal agencies.

Shouhuai Xu is the Gallogly Chair Professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). Prior to joining UCCS, he was with the Department of Computer Science, University of Texas at San Antonio. He pioneered a systematic approach, dubbed Cybersecurity Dynamics, to modeling and quantifying cybersecurity from a holistic perspective. This approach has three orthogonal research thrusts: metrics (for quantifying security, agility, resilience, risk and trustworthiness), cybersecurity data analytics, and cybersecurity first-principle modeling (for seeking cybersecurity laws). His research has won a number of awards, including the 2019 worldwide adversarial malware classification challenge organized by the MIT Lincoln Lab. His research has been funded by AFOSR, AFRL, ARL, ARO, DOE, NSA, NSF and ONR. He co-initiated the International Conference on Science of Cyber Security (SciSec) and is serving as its Steering Committee Chair. He has served as Program Committee co-chair for a number of international conferences and as Program Committee member for numerous international conferences. He is/was an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing (IEEE TDSC), IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security (IEEE T-IFS), and IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (IEEE TNSE).
