TOPICS
The following topics reflect the main issues, which will be addressed during the workshop. The list of topics is not considered exhaustive. Authors are encouraged to submit papers on topics they consider relevant, even if they are not explicitly mentioned below.
The submitted papers should, as far as possible, address concrete study cases and projects applicable to the space domain.
