As you may have heard, TITAN is an EU 7Th Framework project working on improving the predictability and efficiency of the aircraft turnaround. Its name says it all: turnaround integration in trajectory and network. Building on the baseline to be provided by Airport CDM (A-CDM), TITAN will make the details of the turnaround process more… Continue reading The significance of services in TITAN

TITAN Mid-term Progress Meeting
The mid-term progress meeting of the TITAN project was held on 24-25 May 2011 near Frankfurt at project partner Jeppesen’s European headquarters. The meeting was well attended and was of special significance also on account of the fact that TITAN was introduced for the first time to its new European Commission project officer Mr. Remy Denos.… Continue reading TITAN Mid-term Progress Meeting
Aircraft turnaround made visible from a TBO/SOA perspective
Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) are two concepts rather new to air traffic management (ATM) and apparently they continue to cause some head scratching when it comes to agreeing what TBO really means or how to define services in the ATM context. In this article I will attempt to explain a… Continue reading Aircraft turnaround made visible from a TBO/SOA perspective
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for Dummies – IBM eBook 2nd Limited Edition (free download)
If you are following SESAR or NextGen for that matter, you will have come accross the abbreviation SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). A lot of discussion is being generated on the subject in the air traffic management world, not least because SOA has never really been applied in ATM before. If the experts have a problem figuring… Continue reading Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for Dummies – IBM eBook 2nd Limited Edition (free download)
Enterprise Architecture and service orientation – what is this?
Few abbreviations connected with the future air traffic management system have given rise to so many questions and misunderstandings as EA (Enterprise Architecture) and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). In the United States both concepts are part and parcel of air traffic management system development since the marching orders were given by the Federal Government. In… Continue reading Enterprise Architecture and service orientation – what is this?
SWIM, the external enabler – now read the book!
Towards the end of the SESAR definition phase the airspace users in Europe presented a paper, arguing that System Wide Information Management (SWIM) was in fact external to air traffic management and as such, its implementation could and should happen at its own rate matched to the need to ensure mximised, early benefits. The reasoning behind… Continue reading SWIM, the external enabler – now read the book!
SWIM in the USA
System Wide Information Management (SWIM) is an advanced technology program designed to facilitate greater sharing of Air Traffic Management (ATM) system information such as airport operational status, weather information, flight data, status of special use airspace, and National Air Space (NAS) restrictions. SWIM will support current and future NAS programs by providing flexible and secure… Continue reading SWIM in the USA
