Airborne Internet / Collaborative Information Environment
A presentation to AIG/WG
Three Main Points
If the right aviation information at the right time is the goal…
…“Discovery on Demand” using XML Web Services is the solution…
…Allowing the transformation to a Collaborative Information Environment (CIE)
The right aviation information at the right time
Led to the concept of an Airborne Internet (AI):
A private, secure, and reliable peer-to-peer aircraft communications network that uses the same technologies as the commercial Internet
However, the AI does not currently provide a universal way to find:
“Decision quality” information
Knowledge Management and the Art of Decision
Getting decision quality information to the Decision Maker
Discovery on Demand
Accomplished through XML Web Services:
Software components that can be published, located, and run over the Internet using Extensible Markup Language (XML)
XML definition:
A markup language that describes data in a structured and human-readable text format
Example: <aircraft> <n-number>N500EA</n-number> <make>Eclipse</make> <model>500</model> </aircraft>
XML Web Services
Are used to:
Allow other applications to call modules of code remotely with XML
Expose data in a database as XML
Send XML messages:
E.g. alerts and notifications
Build Service Oriented Architectures (SOA):
Flexible, reusable, and lower cost
XML Web Services
Enable disparate systems to work together:
Across languages, platforms, applications
Computer to computer
Inside/outside the firewall
Based on open Internet standards:
XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI
Broad industry support
Key area of vendor alignment
XML Web Services Next wave of Internet evolution
Collaborative Information Environment (CIE)
The transformation of the Internet by XML Web Services
2nd generation Web (Web 1 Web 2)
Military example: SharePoint Portal Heads Up Display (HUD) experiment
Uses XML Web Services to create a CIE that combines information from:
NASA
Synchronized Air Power Management (SAPM)
Defense Collaboration Tool Suite (DCTS)
JEMPRS-NT
Joint Enroute Mission Planning and Rehearsal System-Near Term (JEMPRS-NT)
AI / CIE removes existing aviation information barriers
AI / CIE provides decision quality information for cockpit displays
Functional picture of the AI / CIE
AI / CIE ≠ Internet and Web 1
The AI / CIE is about:
End users, not webmasters
Edge devices, not clients and servers
XML Web Services, not web pages
XML “knowledge packets”, not just TCP/IP connections
Types: Maintenance, Flight, Entertainment, etc.
Built-in security, not security as an afterthought
AI / CIE interfaces securely with the following networks
The commercial Internet
Assured “extranet” connections:
OnSATS
AirTraveler.com (formerly SATS-Net)
Carries “Assured Aviation XML Web Services”
Client-side end user “intranets”
AI / CIE End State Every aircraft is a network node: Network In the Sky
Conclusion
If the right aviation information at the right time is the goal…
…“Discovery on Demand” using XML Web Services is the solution…
…Allowing the transformation to a Collaborative Information Environment (CIE)
