4. HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Tuesday 3rd March 2015
13.00 – 17.00
Holiday Inn Regents Park Hotel, London, UK
Advanced Distributed Missile Defence
with Spatial Grasp Technology
Workshop Leader:
Dr Peter Sapaty, Chief Scientist,
Institute of Mathematical Machines and Systems,
Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences
Overview of Workshop:
The workshop will provide history and current state of
distributed missile defence systems needing strong
supervision to timely react on unpredictable and
asymmetric situations. The Spatial Grasp Technology,
already tested on various networked tasks, will be
interactively presented for advanced missile defence
applications. The related scenarios will be described in a
special high-level language suitable for both manned
and unmanned components, paving the way for unified
transition to fully unmanned solutions of critical missions.
Invited are command and control personnel, missile
defence operatives, system scientists, software engineers.
The workshop will provide presentations of advanced
ideas and existing works in the field of missile defence,
also interactive and collective training of how to grasp
and comprehend (usually counterintuitive) large
distributed systems of different orientations and solve
complex integral problems in them.
