System Wide Information Management (SWIM)

FAA Transition to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) - System Wide Information Management (SWIM) Initiative SOA paradigm provides an enterprise-wide information services “grid” Surveillance, weather, flight data, aeronautical and status information Integrate legacy ATC systems with enterprise-wide management functions Provide seamless and secure access for enterprise and external users Represents a new way of doing business Implementation Approach: Leverage existing infrastructure to support implementation of nine SWIM capabilities within Communities of Interest: Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) Flight & Flow Management (F&FM), Weather CNS Role: SOA approach will allow various CNS services to be shared across

SOA Enterprise Layer Provides NextGen Foundation Terminal Controllers En Route Controllers Non-ATS Users (e.g., Airlines, DoD DHS, ANSPs) Applications ATS Command Center SWIM Raw Data, IP Backbone (Telecommunications Infrastructure)

SWIM Implementation Architecture Central Registry Central Policy Server Individual ATM Systems implement and administer business servers which host Service Containers Application logic runs inside the Service Container ATM Systems own and manage Services Common network infrastructure integrates across service domains Provides shared infrastructure resources Provides enterprise wide security boundary protection

SOA Concepts and Benefits While SOA services are implemented and managed within specific Community of Service Domains, SOA core services are developed and managed from an enterprise perspective Governance Security Directory and service registration Operations and service control Benefits Enables collaboration between people, processes and information Facilitates ubiquitous access to data across CNS functions Facilitates timely deployment of new services and functions Supports new service concepts without adding new service interfaces
