1. Mini Global Demonstration
Integrating information towards Digital ATM
Mini Global Demonstration
Presented By: Thien Ngo
Date: August 28, 2013

2. Demonstration Overview
Mini Global will demonstrate the applicability of the global exchange models for Flight, Aeronautical and Weather information using the FIXM, AIXM, and WXXM standards.
The demonstration intends to show how the FAA, International ANSPs and flight operators, in both the Pacific and Atlantic regions, are able to share common information to:
Improve collaborative decision making (CDM)
Improve air traffic management (ATM)
Promote international harmonization 1

3. Demonstration Objectives
Demonstrate the exchange and applicability of global exchange models to a broader international community
Utilize FIXM, AIXM, and WXXM standards
Evaluate how these standards will address multiple disparate international systems
Different levels of maturity
Different levels of data model fidelity
Recommend updates to FIXM, AIXM, and WXXM standards
Identify and convey possible benefits that can be achieved with the global harmonization of data exchange
Support validation of ICAO Flight and Flow-Information for a Collaborative Environment (FF-ICE) 2

4. Demonstration Approach
Define/identify collaboration goals with international partners:
Collaborate to develop Use Case / Scenarios (i.e. international boundary coordination)
Identify additional data elements in FIXM (if necessary)
Agree on integration architecture
Establish requirements for connectivity / services / data to support demonstration
Address GUFI considerations
Establish connectivity to Mini Global Enterprise Messaging Service
Conduct Test and Evaluate
Perform Demonstration 3

10. Mini Global Benefits 9 Promote international harmonization
Data exchange with other international ANSPs, AOCs, and the aviation industry
Assess the compatibility of partner ATM systems
With respect to global exchange models (FIXM / WXXM / AIXM)
Mature the FIXM standard
Accelerates potential uses for WXXM / AIXM data exchange
Identify services / meaningful to current and future operations
Provide the foundation for new operational capabilities / procedures utilizing international data exchange 9

11. Mini Global Demonstrations
Risk Mitigation Demonstration (February 2014)
Limited number of stakeholders and limited number of capabilities
Focus on Mini Global Enterprise Message Service Infrastructure with multiple service providers
Demonstrate a robust and stable demo environment
Identify any associated demonstration risks to be addressed before the final demonstration
Continuous running service over multiple days to support stakeholder needs
Final Demonstration (September 2014)
Perform Mini Global demonstration with enhanced capabilities to include broader international partners
Evaluate the effectiveness of the global exchange models in addressing the interoperability of international systems 10

18. 13 Mini Global major objectives include:
Mini Global will demonstrate the applicability of the global exchange models for Flight, Aeronautical and Weather information using the FIXM, AIXM, and WXXM standards. With Mini Global, the aim is to increase global predictability by addressing seamless operations, integration of systems, and effective cross border operations. The demonstration intends to show how the FAA, International ANSPs and flight operators can share common information to improve collaborative decision making, improve air traffic management and promote international harmonization.
Mini Global major objectives include:
   
Demonstrate the applicability of global exchange models to a broader international community in all regions
Evaluate how exchange models will address multiple international systems  
Recommend updates to the FIXM Standard
Support validation of ICAO Flight and Flow - Information for a Collaboration Environment (FF-ICE)
Mini Global allows partners to assess the compatibility of their ATM systems with respect to global exchange models (FIXM / WXXM / AIXM), and identify services / products meaningful to their current and future operations. Mini Global also provides the foundation for development of new operational capabilities & procedures utilizing international data exchange.
The Mini Global Enterprise Messaging Service will be established in September 2013 by multiple service providers for their respective regions. Partners can integrate with the service providers in order to participate in the Mini Global demonstrations. Service Levels for participation are defined in the Mini Global Integration Checklist. Request this checklist via to
Partners will participate by providing information for data exchange via the Mini Global infrastructure, and:
Develop Use Case / Scenarios for Mini Global demonstrations (i.e. Border Coordination)
Identify additional data elements (if necessary)
Establish connectivity to the Mini Global infrastructure
Participate in the Mini Global Risk Mitigation (Feb 2014) and/or Final Demonstration (Sept 2014)
