System Wide Information Management (SWIM)

FAA Transition to Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) - System Wide Information Management
(SWIM) Initiative

• SOA paradigm provides an enterprise-wide
  information services grid
• Surveillance, weather, flight data, aeronautical
  and status information
• Integrate legacy ATC systems with enterprise-wide
  management functions
• Provide seamless and secure access for enterprise
  and external users
• Represents a new way of doing business
• Implementation Approach
• Leverage existing infrastructure to support
  implementation of nine SWIM capabilities within
  Communities of Interest
• Aeronautical Information Management (AIM)
• Flight Flow Management (FFM),
• Weather
• CNS Role
• SOA approach will allow various CNS services to
  be shared across

SWIM Implementation Architecture

• Central Registry
• Central Policy Server
• Individual ATM Systems implement and administer
  business servers which host Service Containers
• Application logic runs inside the Service
  Container
• ATM Systems own and manage Services
• Common network infrastructure integrates across
  service domains
• Provides shared infrastructure resources
• Provides enterprise wide security boundary
  protection

SOA Concepts and Benefits

• While SOA services are implemented and managed
  within specific Community of Service Domains, SOA
  core services are developed and managed from an
  enterprise perspective
• Governance
• Security
• Directory and service registration
• Operations and service control
• Benefits
• Enables collaboration between people, processes
  and information
• Facilitates ubiquitous access to data across CNS
  functions
• Facilitates timely deployment of new services and
  functions
• Supports new service concepts without adding new
  service interfaces
