Introduction D-AIM Demo Conclusion

Digital AIM (D-AIM)

AIM Requirements Deliver timely and filtered quality information into user contexts Move towards a state of information exchange and sharing

EC 552/2004 interoperability regulation D-AIM high level principles

Investigate new digital services in addition to current AIS output System-wide approach Separate data transport from data application Open and interoperable data sharing Focus on geo-spatial increment Leverage existing standards

D-AIM PositioningCurrent AIS flow versus D-AIM

D-AIM featuring (1)

D-AIM architectural approach based on a Service Oriented Architecture Loose coupling: service dependencies are minimized; Autonomy: services have control over the logic that they encapsulate; Abstraction: services hide logic from the outside world; Reusability: logic is divided into services with the intention to promote reuse;

Discoverability: services are designed to be outwardly descriptive so they can be found and assessed via available discovery mechanisms.

Use of OGC web services specifications D-AIM embeds AIM standards into the current system to

achieve geospatial information sharing AIXM, AMXM, WXXM OGC-OWS: WMS, WFS, WCS, CSW

D-AIM Benefits

Geo-enable content provider output to enable downstream location based information filtering and decision making support

Increase safety by making information available WHEN and WHERE needed

Increase situational awareness through geospatial information Database driven common views Common timely geospatial intelligence (en-route/aerodrome) Fusion of multiple information sources
