2. smartAIM Architecture Overview

3. smartAIM Data Flow

4. Vision – Aeronautical Data Change
smartDM and smartWFM
Introducing a flexible WFM tool that enables process owners (i.e ANSPs) to design work flows according to their process for the data originators
Regulatory Compliance
ICAO – Annex 15 , ADQ - Aeronautical Data Quality - Implementation Rules, EC Regulation 73/2010, OJEU – 27th January
Increased Efficiency in AIM
Traceability
Timeliness
Control of the process and documentation

5. smartWFM
An integrated solution for the data originators to interface with smartDM products according to their unique processes
The solution includes:
A web service interface to the smartDM for data management
AIM customized state-of-the-art WFM forms
Full integration of AIM customized WFM forms with:
smartAIM DM (AIXM 4.5 or AIXM 5.1 database modules)
AIXM features (binding mechanism)
AIXM metadata
AIXM temporality
AIXM slot management (change set)
smartAIM common services (i.e authorization, authentication)
Full costumer support to design the work flows based on their requirements

6. smartWFM
FREQUENTIS is using a COTS WFM tool customized and integrated into AIM environment
Internationalization by:
different languages: German, English, French, Italian, Persian
language and time-zone per user
full Unicode support
different calendars and holidays
An open, platform- and database-independent system
Complex processes, organizations structures, and forms can be modeled
Different clients make the system applicable for each workflow application
Application integration: consequent use of standards, various interfaces and a rich API makes this task easy.
Proved in many projects and application areas

7. Edit Feature Component

8. GIS Component Deep Integration with „Edit Feature Component“
View/Edit the Feature that is currently opened in the „Edit Feature Component“
Load surrounded feature to view the feature in its context
View the feature evolution over time

9. GIS Component

10. GIS Component

11. Process Viewer Component
The process viewer allows viewing (and editing for authorised users) of the Workflow processes.

12. smartAIP Digital Publication of Aeronautical Information (GIS Charts and electronic AIP)

13. smartAIP WebClient – Publication Management

14. smartAIP – data supervisor (2/2)
Changes in graphical publications (Charts) can be broken down to
Layouts
Layers
Labels
etc.

21. smartINMO Integrated NOTAM, METEO Operations and Flight Plans

22. Dynamic Data Short-term information, which may change frequently
NOTAM: Notice to Airmen
Information to pilots describing changes to static data (e.g. bird swarms, runway closures, runway icing, cranes,…)
have a location (may affect an area) and a validity
Flight Plans:
Describe the route along which a flight will be flown
Include information about the timing
Include information about the aircraft capabilities and equipment
Meteo Information:
METAR, TAF, SIGMET: textual information describing the weather situation

23. smartINMO – Highlights
Provides an integrated dynamic data management solution: NOTAM, Flight Plan, METEO
Provides Pre-Flight Information Bulletins (PIB) in conjunction with Flight Plans and MET information
Offers NOTAM Summaries and other NOTAM Retrieval Functions (PIBs and Profile Management)
Provides ICAO 4444 compliant flight plan management (FPL2012)
Integrated Web Briefing Applications
SNOWIZ, NOTAMWIZ
Digital NOTAM

24. smartINMO – NOTAM and METEO Management
Convenient solution for the exchange of NOTAMs in every country
linkage of the NOTAM to the 2nd language version as well as the Static Data affected
Full integration with smartDM database
Automatic processing of checklists and RQN
Applies ICAO and OPADD rules for validation
Automated forms for NOTAM, SNOWTAM, ASHTAM, SIGMET, AIRMET, METAR, TAF, GAMET, SPECI
Digital NOTAM

25. Digital NOTAM
Digital NOTAM is a sub-concept of AIXM 5. It was the main reason for the FAA to support the standard.
Digital NOTAM follows a different timeline than the “rest” of AIXM.
SWIM will be the transport mechanism.
ICAO does not have a standard for it yet. SWIM is only worked no by FAA / Eurocontrol
Before the transport issue is finally defined and standardised on a world-wide basis, it is therefore unlikely that a global replacement of traditional NOTAM transmitted via AFTN can be achieved in the foreseeable future.
