3 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, SWIM and the Evolution of Air Transportation SWIM supports FAA’s long-term goals for the Next Generation Air Transportation System to: Allow more aircraft to fly more closely together on more direct routes Reduce delays and congestion Provide benefits for the environment and the economy through reductions in carbon emissions, fuel consumption, and noise Specifically, SWIM will support these goals by: Providing more efficient operations Streamlining communications Connecting more FAA systems and airspace users

4 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, Program Concept SWIM will: Implement a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) in the National Airspace System (NAS) Allow the FAA to create new system interfaces more quickly and more cheaply than is possible today Facilitate the increased data-sharing that is required for NextGen SWIM is not: A set of avionics equipment A substitute for NAS modernization programs A Telecom program SWIM is an IT infrastructure program that will operate in the background to provide data to authorized users

8 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, When capabilities are self-contained and independent to enable a collection of services to be linked together to solve a business problem Oriented O SOA standardizes the necessary interfaces and behavior to support interaction Capabilities performed by one for another to achieve a desired outcome Service S SOA establishes services as the mechanism by which needs and capabilities are brought together The fundamental organization of a system embodied in its capabilities, their interactions, and the environment Architecture A SOA provides an organizing and delivery paradigm that derives greater value by reusing existing software solutions rather than duplicating capabilities What is SOA? SOA organizes technical capabilities in a standard way to allow flexible accomplishment of constantly changing demands

9 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, SWIM – Selecting Services and the Information You Want

10 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, SWIM is a SOA Implementation SWIM provides: –SOA technology infrastructure –Governance to ensure that information management standards and processes are followed Leads to consistent service development, operation and management enterprise-wide By following SOA standards and principles: –SWIM makes services available on a network –Enables systems on the network seeking those services to invoke them without having to change or adapt to the underlying implementation of the service (i.e. loose coupling)

11 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, Inability of technology to align with and respond to an organization’s mission What are the main SOA business drivers? Business dynamics are rendering current systems approaches obsolete Agility Organizations are slow to respond to emergent business needs because the current systems are inflexible and difficult to change Decision cycles are unnecessarily lengthened by data stovepipes Organizations are slow to respond to emergent business needs because the current systems are inflexible and difficult to change Decision cycles are unnecessarily lengthened by data stovepipes Process Customers are complaining that systems are not easy-to-use Data is locked in many disparate sources and is not available to support cross-functional operations Systems cause business process “lock-in” inhibiting evolutionary business improvements Customers are complaining that systems are not easy-to-use Data is locked in many disparate sources and is not available to support cross-functional operations Systems cause business process “lock-in” inhibiting evolutionary business improvements Interoperability The demand for systems and data interoperability within and external to the organization is continually growing Inability of applications to interoperate due to platform incompatibility and proprietary interfaces Organizational stovepipes limit the ability to exchange information and leverage capability The demand for systems and data interoperability within and external to the organization is continually growing Inability of applications to interoperate due to platform incompatibility and proprietary interfaces Organizational stovepipes limit the ability to exchange information and leverage capability Costs Business objectives and technology capabilities are not well aligned causing –poor returns on information technology investments, –inefficient operations, and, –lost business opportunities. Duplicate systems result in higher costs Business objectives and technology capabilities are not well aligned causing –poor returns on information technology investments, –inefficient operations, and, –lost business opportunities. Duplicate systems result in higher costs Lack of agility, process redundancy, inefficient system interactions, and increasing costs

12 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, Technology is not growing toward an organization’s mission What are the main SOA technology drivers? Agility Technology assets cannot be quickly repositioned in response to strategic decisions IT leaders can’t replace old technologies without significant cost and disruption Technology and vendor lock-in inhibits the IT organization ability to change Technology assets cannot be quickly repositioned in response to strategic decisions IT leaders can’t replace old technologies without significant cost and disruption Technology and vendor lock-in inhibits the IT organization ability to change Process Systems and organizations duplicate work It is difficult to determine ‘what exists’ or “situational truth” because duplicate data and application functionality create contradictory information Traditional systems development tightly couples systems to predefined and static business processes Systems and organizations duplicate work It is difficult to determine ‘what exists’ or “situational truth” because duplicate data and application functionality create contradictory information Traditional systems development tightly couples systems to predefined and static business processes Interoperability Existing IT systems are very heterogeneous often with proprietary interfaces creating growing interoperability challenges More time spent patching systems together than adding mission critical capabilities Data used across an organization is often inconsistent and potentially inaccurate Existing IT systems are very heterogeneous often with proprietary interfaces creating growing interoperability challenges More time spent patching systems together than adding mission critical capabilities Data used across an organization is often inconsistent and potentially inaccurate Costs Integrating data stovepipes is expensive and wasteful IT maintenance and integration costs are becoming a larger percentage of the budget resulting in less money for new initiatives Duplicate data entry and manual data reconciliation create higher labor costs Integrating data stovepipes is expensive and wasteful IT maintenance and integration costs are becoming a larger percentage of the budget resulting in less money for new initiatives Duplicate data entry and manual data reconciliation create higher labor costs

13 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, Key Aspects of SOA for SWIM Business and IT Alignment –Systems design is driven by a market forces model (supply and demand) –Systems are grown to evolve with the environment rather than designed and built as a fixed structure (a city vs. a building) Adaptability –Agility: allow for rapid enhancement of services capability –Flexibility: enable on-demand composition and restructuring of services to meet business needs Interoperability: –Priority on exposing capability for rapid consumption –Create ability for unanticipated utilization (emergent behaviors) Leveragability: –Maximize utility of the services provided –Maximize utilization of existing services (eliminate/reduce development) Scalability –Distribution of effort: widely distribute the development of capability –Distribution of value: enable wide access to capability

14 Federal Aviation Administration 9 th SOA for eGovernment Conference May 6, What types of information are shared through SWIM? SWIM facilitates more efficient sharing of air traffic management (ATM) system information such as: Airport surface movement information Flight planning information Airspace restrictions Weather information Traffic flow management information
