SUMMARY OF WORK TO BE PERFORMED:
The main objective of this effort is the evaluation and improvements of the Airborne Internet Architecture strengths and weaknesses along with demonstrating the concept to stakeholders and the aviation community. The work effort will produce the Airborne Internet Research Lab at the Technical Center, which will include several Airborne Internet Configurations. The A.I. Research Lab will tightly interface to the WJHTC Air Traffic Simulation Lab. Some work at NASA locations may involved as NASA continues to cooperate in the program. The research will leverage open standards and protocols for a peer-to peer network system architecture and for increased bandwidth for mobile transportation applications. Airborne Internet will be the basic infrastructure to which the Collaborative Information Environment (CIE) will be utilized by aircraft.
Develop and evaluate methods to aid aviation analysts working with the Voluntary Data Reporting Program (VDRP). VDRP reports consist of statements of problems (e.g., violations) and proposed solutions. We propose to develop a taxonomic structure for these reports. Our approach differs from standard taxonomic methods in that we will first derive an expert knowledge structure for the domain of aviation safety. The expert knowledge structure, which will consist of a set of core concepts along with their structural relations, will serve as a type of template to better capture generic aviation safety issues. The taxonomic structure is best viewed as a rich web of interlinked core concepts. Each problem statement and each solution will be represented by a set of nodes (concepts) that are linked (connected) in a specific pattern. Further, the problem structure will be linked to the solution structure, providing a functional mapping of problems onto solutions. It is this functional mapping that will provide the usefulness of the taxonomy.
