ATLAS2K and the IVI Signal Interface-the framework for an open, modular and distributed ATS architecture

This paper investigates the combined use of ATLAS2K and the IVI Signal Interface in ATS architectures. The analysis of these initiatives identifies a set of common features and demonstrates that they address complementary areas of ATS architectures. This situation makes them an excellent fit for establishing the foundation of a modular, open, distributed and coherent COM-based ATS architecture.
