Modernizing the US National Airspace System with EDA and Asynchronous Messaging

Ever wondered how a complex system like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Airspace System uses event-driven architecture to move people safely and efficiently across the United States?

In this panel session, representatives from the and LS Technologies will describe the FAA enterprise and National Airspace System and how this complex system functions internally and with industry partners such as airlines.

The panelists discuss system considerations, security policies, and the increasing role of event-driven architecture (EDA) and asynchronous messaging information exchange in the efficiency of the NAS. Their discussion of EDA includes user collaboration and integration, related infrastructure challenges, security concerns and lessons learned in support of enabling the FAA’s Next Generation NAS.

You will also learn about the aviation community engagement strategy (SWIFT) that is helping to enable the aviation community to exchange real-time information. The FAA System Wide Information Management (SWIM) program provides real-time information exchange capabilities designed to ensure seamless integration across system, enabling increased automation and coordination between airspace users, whether internal or external to the FAA enterprise.
