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
· Interlacing Legacy Standards with S1000D Requirements
· Software
· The learning curve
· Implementation issues
· Data Implementation for new Acquisitions
· Conversion of Legacy Data
Optimizing the Creation, Management, and Publication of Flight Operations Data
How can airlines optimize their flight operations manuals creation, management and publishing within a mixed fleet environment? Are there differences between the needs of major and regional airlines? What are the improvement drivers and metrics for this process? This presentation will discuss how two airlines addressed these questions, and will also explore the industry’s progress in standardizing electronic flight operations data through ATA Spec 2300.
Performance Metrics
Spec 2000 has published a series of Industry Performance Metrics definitions with a goal for companies to be able to reference a common methodology for calculating their customers’ and suppliers’ performance. This has not only simplified the “apples-to-apples” comparisons, but also provides for more standardized data allowing for more rapid root-cause analyses and corrective action. This presentation will provide an update on these activities and some stories about how benefits have been achieved through implementation.
Project implementation of S1000D - Lessons learned
This presentation examines the lessons learned during the implementation of an aerospace project using S1000D. Over two years this project progressed from having no experience with S1000D or XML to final preparation for the delivery of data modules to the customer. This learning curve also involved the migration in mid-project to an up-issue of S1000D and coping with multiple releases of the business rules (BR). Additional aspects to be explored include the development of schemas, creation and refinement of a business rules checker and providing training for a team of authors.
Quality assurance and quality review - Methods and processes for S1000D projects
The acceptance and the usability of technical publications are directly dependent on their quality and accuracy. This presentation addresses the available tools within S1000D as well as methods and processes to achieve and review the required quality for S1000D publications. Key topics include:
· Dimensions of quality management for technical publications
· Critical issues for the quality assurance of technical publications
· Quality management according to S1000D, how can the specification support the user
· Methods and processes for quality assurance and inspection; business process and workflow modelling
· Implementation of syntactic and semantic processes for the review of technical publication - experiences and results
Regulatory Documentation
Effective in June 2008, the FAA formally approved the use of Spec 2000 Chapter 16 as a specification for the creation and transmission of electronic 8130-3 documents. Learn how your company can save valuable time and reduce costs by implementing processes using this and other electronic regulatory documents. Learn where the European regulatory authorities are in terms of approving the use of Chapter 16 for the EASA Form One.
Reliability Data
Learn how good reliability data can help improve schedule performance and reduce maintenance costs. Understand how using Spec 2000 Chapter 11 & 13 can facilitate industry-wide data exchange to achieve these reliability improvements. This presentation will describe the work of the ATA e-Business Program Reliability Interest Group and the common metrics that have been developed for measuring part and airplane reliability.
S1000D Applicability Model
Applicability is a way to define conditional logic inside a technical publication, such as aircraft models or tail numbers. It allows you to define under which conditions specific pieces of information apply or are applicable. These conditions can be relatively simple or very complex. The S1000D applicability model has progressed significantly allowing for complex logic within the content to fulfill commercial aviation and military use cases. S1000D also provides structures for processes using the Process Data Module spec where an IETP can interface with equipment or any other external solution to automatically find out which conditions apply.
This tutorial describes the S1000D applicability model, explaining the difference between global and inline applicability, showing how data modules interact with the ACT, CCT and PCT data modules.
Security Convergence - where IT meets the Airplane
This presentation will discuss the security challenges that are raised by the introduction of new technologies such as Electronic Flight Bags, Gatelink, Software Data loading, Electronic airworthiness forms, and future communications systems. These solutions are all pushing the aircraft towards technologies that are more often associated with IT Security than aircraft operations, which is a major shift in how we think of the aircraft in the context of airline operations. The presentation will show how identity and access management is more important than ever in a converged world.
S1000D process data module logic engine - How does it work?
The S1000D Process Data Module specification is a standard for interactive processing structures resulting in a sequence of data modules. A Logic Engine is capable of compiling Process Data Modules and presenting this as an interactive application to the end-user, where the end-user is guided through the process defined in the Process Data Module ensuring that the all steps in a procedure or fault isolation are followed. This presentation will explain how a Logic Engine works and go into the technical details of a Logic Engine.
The Reality of Reuse in S1000D - A Practical Guide to Understanding and Getting Reuse Done
Every business strives to get the most out of their technical data and must find opportunities to fulfill that requirement through reuse. S1000D was conceived as a model for improving reuse through topic-oriented modularization of content and enables companies to achieve this lofty goal.
This presentation will review how XML and S1000D provide solutions for these key challenges faced by many. Topics include:
· Understanding reuse as it is defined by the S1000D specification
· Understanding S1000D as a standard for designing, authoring and publishing modular information
· Using a top down and practical approach to learning key aspects of reuse and its ability to provide extensibility and avoiding common pitfalls and mistakes
TypeX Message Exchange Patterns and Deployment Architectures
Recent work on a new air transport messaging standard has produced a new XML based messaging protocol called TypeX. TypeX messaging is a lightweight message exchange protocol based on XML and Web Services technologies and compatible with air transport business practices. As the industry moves to XML based business data, the adoption of XML technologies and TypeX for message communications will eventually replace the existing protocols.
The presentation provides a summary of TypeX evolution as standard, an overview of the possible TypeX message exchange patterns and deployment architectures including its use in a single server, as a Web Service or in a SOA environment. Examples are presented using a HTTP transport or a middleware such as MQ.
Use case: Implementation of a S1000D Technical Publications Management System (TPMS) in reality
Implementation of a TPMS raises many challenges. How to configure the TPMS? Which kinds of integrations are needed? What new functionality shall be implemented in the system and in the organisation? And how to take care of legacy data compared to new requests?
This presentation will explore how one company addressed these questions and the knowledge they gained during the implementation of the TPMS, the production of technical data according to S1000D and the delivery of technical information to customers.
