PrismTech Webcast Addresses Increasing Challenges of System Wide Information Management for Air Navigation Systems.BOSTON -- PrismTech[TM], a leader in high-performance middleware and development tools, will host a free webcast this month that offers new insights on how a technology in use today for mission critical defense systems can also be used to successfully address system-wide interoperability requirements and rising traffic volumes faced by next-generation air navigation air navigation, science and technology of determining the position of an aircraft with respect to the surface of the earth and accurately maintaining a desired course (see navigation). systems. Titled "Enabling System Wide Interoperability for Next-Generation Air Navigation Systems," the webcast will examine the key factors contributing to the swift adoption of the Object Management Group's[TM]Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems Real-time systems Computer systems in which the computer is required to perform its tasks within the time restraints of some process or simultaneously with the system it is assisting. (DDS (1) (Digital Data Storage) See DAT. (2) (Data Dictionary System) See QuickBuild and OpenDDS. (3) (Dataphone Digital S ) technology in next-generation air navigation systems. In addition, the webcast will provide concrete examples of how PrismTech's OpenSplice[TM] DDS is simplifying architecture and development while strengthening performance, reliability, and fault-tolerance of air navigation systems. The webcast is intended for managers, architects, and technologists responsible for implementing, evolving, and integrating air navigation systems and the underlying infrastructure they rely on. It is scheduled for May 21, 2008 from 9:00am to 10:00am US ET and will be repeated again at 2:00pm to 3:00pm US ET. Traffic volume for air navigation systems is increasing and expected to double by 2025. In addition, the overall industry is facing rising fuel costs, strict regulations related to issues such as pollution, and profitability challenges. The ability to seamlessly share information throughout the system can help address these challenges by improving scheduling decisions, enabling new operational scenarios, providing ubiquitous and real-time access to flight data information, and enabling improved gate-to-gate services. Several programs in Europe and the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. -- such as the CoFlight European Flight Data Processor, ICOG ICOG Independent Church of God , SWIM, SESAR SESAR Single European Sky ATM Research (European air traffic management system) SESAR Solid Earth Sample Registry SESAR Suspected Expected Serious Adverse Reaction , and NEXT-GEN -- are investigating how these challenges can be addressed from a technological and operational perspective. DDS, which is being embraced by programs such as CoFlight and ICOG-2, is emerging as a key standard technology for enabling system-wide interoperability. It offers performance, availability, and determinism benefits required by air navigation systems. The webcast will be presented by Angelo Corsaro, Ph.D., OpenSplice DDS product marketing manager, PrismTech. Dr. Corsaro is a much-respected figure in the distributed real-time and embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. middleware community and co-chairs the OMG (1) See Object Management Group.

OpenSplice DDS is an extremely high performance, real-time publish/subscribe middleware designed to provide low-latency, high-throughput data dissemination across distributed systems Distributed systems (computers) A distributed system consists of a collection of autonomous computers linked by a computer network and equipped with distributed system software. . It supports sophisticated QoS such as traffic prioritization, traffic shaping Using methods to keep traffic flowing smoothly in a network. Although the term is often used synonymously with "traffic engineering," traffic shaping deals with managing the network moment to moment, whereas traffic engineering refers to the overall strategies employed in a network. , software and hardware filtering, content-based subscriptions, and persistence.
