SWIM and SESAR

• The question could be Does SESAR SWIM?
• If Julius CAESAR had to cross the Rubicon he
  could certainly SWIM. wearing a SWIM SUIT?
• Abundant literature supports this fact and the
  SESAR ConOps is in fact built on SWIM
  foundations

SWIM and SESAR

• Information Management is a concept of it own
• When inserted into the ATM Concept of Operations
  it implies that to provide each Stakeholder with
  the data he needs to perform any given task (and
  does so in a timely, reliable and accurate
  manner) it is not based on a pre-constituted
  architectural design
• IM is like internet. It adapts to user
  requirements.
• There is however a clear broker and a clear
  Customer of IM, each play a significant role in
  the process
• This how SWIM interacts with ATM Stakeholders.

CONCLUSIONS

• SWIM is a main feature of the SESAR ConOps
• Information technologies are already available to
  support SWIM (Datalink may need further
  Development)
• Institutional barriers (property of data) will
  need to be mitigated through regulation (if not
  good will) before SWIM is possible
• SWIM SUIT will prove the concept using legacy
  systems using wrapper techniques
• By year 2020 new systems will be developed to be
  directly connectable to the SWIM infrastructure
• Interoperability will be the result.
