Potential of Open-source Software for Air Traffic Management
All 2006 reports
 

Abstract

 
In the middle of 2005, the Innovative Research department of the EUROCONTROL Experimental Centre asked for the support of the CALIBRE project to organise a round table on the subject: "Potential of Open Source Software (OSS) in Air Traffic Management (ATM)".

The objective of the round table was to increase awareness and to gather facts and arguments concerning four broad hypotheses about the possible implications of the OSS paradigm for the ATM. In order to reach this objective, the round table has been organised so as to foster cross-fertilization between two domains of expertise: the OSS expertise and the ATM expertise.

Since this round table was a first open discussion about open source in ATM, it was decided to record all the presentations and discussions and to report it exhaustively for the benefit of further initiatives for the benefit of either ATM or OSS. This event has already triggered two similar initiatives in other industries than ATM.

This report contains the transcript of all presentations and discussions, with an attempt to summarize some salient points. The website www.oss-in-atm.info contains a dynamic and audio format of this report.
