E  
Environment

The simulation platform and the airspace structure simulated thereon together with its associated tools.

Experiment

The planning, execution and analysis of trials for the purpose of testing one or more hypotheses. Thus the INTEGRA Execution Phase, with the exception of contractual and financial issues constitutes one experiment.

F  
Feeder Sector

An airspace sector within the simulated airspace that will co ordinate traffic flow with the measured sector in such a way as to present a realistic sector/sector interface from the perspective of the measured sector.

M  
Measured Sector

An airspace sector within the simulated airspace structure where performance and behaviour are measured.

R  
Run

The execution of a traffic sample on the simulation platform. A run may or may not be a trial depending upon whether the definition of a Trial is met.

S  
Scenario

A traffic sample, a specific configuration of the environment and additional operating rules or scripted behaviour provided to the operating personnel.

Subject Sector

See Measured Sector

T  
Traffic Sample

A defined set of air traffic providing inception time and planned trajectory for every aircraft.

Trial

The execution of a scenario for the purpose of observing and/or recording performance.

Trial Sequence

A set of trials, usually intended to operate a series of scenarios in a planned order. In INTEGRA Execution Phase there shall be a training trial sequence, a pilot trial sequence and a main trial sequence.
