Session Descriptions
(Alpha Order)

A RFID Implementation with Reader Interoperability Module

With the recent ratification of the ATA Radio Frequency Identification data format standard, called RFID Table of Content (ToC), and the maturity of an ISO/EPCGlobal based RFID tag with high user memory, the commercial aviation industry is ready to adopt and implement RFID solutions to improve operational efficiency.  This presentation describes a prototype implementation that uses the RFID Reader Interoperability Module (RIM).  RFID RIM is the result of a joint development effort between Boeing and Fujitsu to create an abstraction layer that encapsulates reading and writing the RFID ToC and associated data records to the tag. 

ATA e-Business Specification Overview

This session provides a complete overview of ATA e-Business specifications, including

·         Spec 42, Aviation Industry Standards for Digital Information Security

·         Spec 2000, e-Business Specification for Materiels Management

·         iSpec 2200, Information Standards for Aviation Maintenance

·         Spec 2300, Data Exchange Standards for Flight Operations

·         CSDD, Common Support Data Dictionary

·         And more...

ATA iSpec2200: A powerful enabler for the Airbus A380 Technical Data

Technical data used by air carriers to maintain the Airbus A380 makes full use of ATA iSpec2200.  This presentation will review and illustrate ow this specification has been implemented in order to provide efficient service to operators.  Key topics include the benefits of:

·         Full use of SGML DTDs and Technical Requirements

·         Powerful data tagging

·         Use of the ATA Graphics Exchange Standard

Automated Identification Technologies (AIDC, RFID)

This session provides an overview of AIDC technologies and how they are applied in aviation. There will be discussions about different type of part marking technologies, bar-coded shipping labels, asset tracking and how to ensure traceability during an asset’s life. There will be an overview of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technologies and how they are being implemented in aviation maintenance. The ATA e-Business RFID on Parts Project Team will provide a status report of their activities.

Benefits of Integration across ATA Standards:  An Airline Perspective

One of the important aspects of ATA e-Business specifications is that they continue to evolve and mature in response to both information technology and business demands. From an airline perspective the case can be made that many of the published specifications are at the point where interoperability is now becoming a viable path towards the future of commercial aviation e-Business.  Improved connectivity building on the concept of one standard and one language provides incremental benefits to e-Business interactions as well as internal continuous improvement processes.  This presentation explores one airline’s perspective on where the convergence will be in the future as the ATA e-Business specification family continues to mature.

Boeing 787 S1000D XML Implementation

Boeing will introduce S1000D V3.0 to Civil Aviation Customers with the 787 entry into service.  With the help of the ATA Civil Aviation Working Group and AIA/ASD/ATA industry committees, the basic framework is now in place.  Implementation has required planning, adjustment and work with all factions from data creation teams, infrastructure and end user/information consumer.  This presentation will explore Boeing’s implementation experiences, including:

·         An update on the 787 program

·         Commercial Aviation Implementation Journey

·         Information Management not Document Management

·         Implementation considerations

·         787 Information types in S1000D

Business rules in a military environment - Lessons learned in Danish defence

Military organizations implementing S1000D on an organizational level face the challenge of often embracing many different projects under “one roof”. This is even more crucial when a military organization is implementing a S1000D environment for the whole organization as is the case for Danish Defence. The challenge is to find out whether separate project settings are sufficient for successful use of the generated technical documentation or whether there is a necessity for certain Business rules decisions on an organizational level.  

This presentation will provide an overview of lessons learned in Danish MoD while elaborating S1000D Business Rules on an organizational level.

Business Rules overview – Making S1000D work for you

S1000D provides the technical framework for efficient, reliable technical data exchange.  But it’s the application of business rules that enable the unique requirements of each project to be met.  Based on practical experience, this presentation shows what can go wrong if business rules are ill-defined.  It discusses the types of business rules documents you will need when you set up an S1000D project and the types of rules that they contain.  Many business rules can be policed automatically by using business rules checking software, and this presentation demonstrates one such application that is in use in a major defence aerospace project in Europe.  The presentation concludes by outlining the proposed standard framework for the creation and maintenance of business rules that may be given in a future issue of S1000D.

Harmonizing S1000D and SCORM

The international S1000D technical data standards community has recognized the requirement to support DoD training content. During 2007, the S1000D training subcommittee developed key and fundamental proposals to support technical data and training content for the newest edition of S1000D. This presentation will detail how S1000D version 4 supports training, including new learning-oriented information models, a SCORM-oriented aggregation model using native S1000D processing, instructional design codes for use in S1000D-based filenames, and guidelines for preplanning reusable data. The presentation will also present learning content in S1000D and in its SCORM-conformant output. Emphasis will be placed on how the use of S1000D ensures that learning content is in sync with products and systems it supports.  

Introduction to Shipdex™ Protocol

Shipdex™ is the International Business Rules (The Shipdex™ Protocol) developed to standardize the development and the exchange of technical and logistic data within the shipping community, using S1000D.  The reason to develop a common and standardized protocol for exchanging data is that shipping companies were receiving technical manuals from manufacturers in different formats (on paper or on various electronic formats) and with different compositions.  This situation created several problems for end users in terms of information comprehension and usage. Moreover, since most shipping companies utilize Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) software applications to manage and optimize maintenance and material purchase processes, a standard data exchange protocol allowing CMMS database automatic generation was deemed necessary. 

Key topics include:

·         Why Shipdex

·         What is Shipdex

·         Shipdex Business Rules

·         Results expected by the use of Shipdex

·         Shipdex “next developments”

·         Shipdex organization

Manufacturer abilities in ATA and S1000D standards use for multiple aircraft programs

The purpose of this presentation is to detail the concrete use case of both ATA and S1000D standards application for maintenance documentations production on multiple aircraft programs, examining the problems that one manufacturer encountered and the Tools and Methods solutions that were provided for these challenges.

Mommy, where do airplanes come from? The Curious Life of Engineering Standards

Over many years and many projects, one thing has proven to be consistently true – the real challenge to be overcome in streamlining documentation processes is establishing the true source for all content components. It seems obvious enough but in fact it is a path of inquiry that is rarely pursued to the very end.  These projects have shared a common theme in that they have all sought to fully integrate the corpus of engineering standards, and the processes associated with them, into the fundamental aircraft design baseline and from hence into the manufacturing and maintenance documentation. Included will be applicability to S1000D and iSpec2200 and how legacy and new technologies interoperate.

NAVSEA S1000D Implementation Test Bed

NSWC Panama City Division is NAVSEA’ s test bed for S1000D implementation.  We started looking into S1000D in 2005, and today we have an operational S1000D system in place producing IETMs for Littoral Combat Systems.   This presentation will discuss the implementation process employed from the inception to lifecycle support.  It will also discuss the transformation of legacy data into S1000D with an emphasis on complying with US Navy standards. 

Key topics include:

·       Business rule development
