A framework for performance modeling of SWIM

Abstract

As part of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) activities, it is envisaged that the System Wide Information Management (SWIM) program will provide key functionality allowing for a network enabled agile National Air Space (NAS). SWIM seeks to provision Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based capabilities for various NAS programs, thus allowing various applications and programs (e.g., Aeronautical Information Management (AIM), NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW)) to provide and consume data through information services made transparent with respect to the underlying platform implementation.
