ICWS/SERVICES 2008 Panel 3: How Can Web Services Help Civil Aviation?

Jia — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:49:14 +0000

Panel 3:

How Can Web Services Help Civil Aviation?

Chair:

Casey Fung, Boeing Phantom Works, USA

Theme:

The civil aviation system is a global enterprise that includes airframe, engine and component manufacturers, airlines, maintenance organizations, regulatory agencies, airports, air traffic control authorities and millions of service providers that must work together effectively to ensure cargo and passengers get to their destinations as scheduled, while traveling safely and efficiently. The system includes a bewildering array of commercial and custom developed systems for monitoring and controlling the operations of the participant.

The news has recently been filled with examples of operations not working as smoothly as we all hope: Passengers have been stranded on taxi-ways, flights cancelled for weather and maintenance inspections and crowds of passengers complaining of lost baggage have become common as civil aviation grows. The growth has been rapid and shows no signs of abating. The available seat-kilometers in China are predicted to grow at over 8% per year for the next decade. The rest of the world will grow between 4 and 6%. We need to find ways to:

- Improve communications between manufacturers, airlines and regulatory agencies to defend our unmatched safety record in the face of increasing traffic.
- Orchestrate and streamline workflow among the hundreds of collaborating organizations that keep civil aviation functioning.
- Improve the services we provide a diverse flying public to increase their enjoyment of the travel experience

Web services, network technologies and service oriented architectures provide a means of improving communications between heterogeneous systems that make up our civil aviation transportation system. A web service is a software component that supports interoperable component- to-component interaction over a network. Each service makes its functionality available through well-defined or standardized XML interfaces. Web services do not work together by coincidence. Smoothly interacting systems in a network of the scale described here will require initial investment in building an enabling platform. Crafting a service-oriented architecture is the first step towards this infrastructure. Openness and standardization are key ways to accumulate resources and spread the risk of capitalization. This panel will focus on finding a vision and roadmap for initiating an open civil aviation web service platform that is sustainable and self actuating in the long run.

ICWS/SERVICES 2008 Panel 2: Smarter SOA

Jia — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 09:48:34 +0000

The purpose of this panel is to present a broad range of best practices of SOA strategization and operationalization in the use of web services in real-world SOA implementations. The focus will be on the common challenges and issues encountered in SOA projects. Topics include, but are not limited to, tenets, methodology, architecture, service management, standards, tools, process, organization, governance, security, and quality of services. Practitioner’s guides and anti-patterns as well as trends will be discussed in the context. Real-life pragmatic solutions to business problems will be exemplified and illustrated in case studies.

ICWS/SERVICES 2008 Tutorial 1 & 2

Tutorial 1 & 2:
Common Business Components and Services toward More Agile and Flexible Industry Solutions and Assets

Min Luo, Ge Jin, Jia Tan, Lei Zhang
Global Business Solution Center

Abstract:
=======
In many decades, many organizations, especially large consulting companies, have been designing, implementing and managing business solutions for every industry around the globe.. But due to numerous limitations in process, tooling and skills, most of those solutions were made very specific to individual industry and client needs at its early design stage. Therefore, reuse and more importantly, managing the ever changing business requirements, become almost impossible.

Service-orientation and architecture, model-driven business development provides us a new and powerful approach to facilitate asset based industry solution design and development. To further accelerate this, this tutorial will discuss an innovative approach that take advantage of many proven best software engineering practices, from object/component based technology, meta-data driven architecture types (archetypes) that are used to model the common structural and in some cases non-structural business entities such as Customer, Product, Payment, etc. In order to address the consequences introduced by abstracting those common elements out of the specific industry model and be able to enable easy and meta-data based transformation, we properly decompose business components/services into a multi-layered business architecture.

Therefore, process/components/services can be decomposed accordingly to facilitate the decomposition and abstraction, while maintaining certain level of necessary traceability across various artifacts. In the realization phase, existing assets/operational systems will be mapped and transformed to the required business components and services to best leverage those existing valuable industry/client investments.

To support such a SOA based, model and business driven development process, existing tooling, especially the necessary transformation and integration capability, needs to be significantly enhanced. This tutorial will also present some recommendation based on some recent design and implementation，and they could be used to guide future tooling alignment and integration effort across software modeling, implementation and solution products.

In addition, we will present how to leverage existing internal or external assets or product offerings and the open industry reference models and standards (such as ACCORD, ebXML, ARTS/IxRetail…) .

This work is based on authors’ collective experience in leading the large end-to-end client engagements across many industries, while promoting various industry leading software engineering best practices.
