A new concept for ATM service supervision for the new SESAR enterprise architecture

The SESAR Definition Phase stated the need for a service oriented approach to meet the European scope interoperability in the ATM domain, aiming at striking out fragmentation among systems and countries, and at providing the holistic view of a single Pan-European ATM network whose services must be driven by stakeholders' needs. The goal of 10.1.9 (for en-route) and 12.1.9 (for airport) SESAR projects is to define a novel supervision approach, able to tackle the challenge of such a paradigm revolution, and to take into account the Quality of Services and dependability constraints that this will introduce into the next generation systems.
