Beyond SOA & CLOUD:
Next Generation Information Exchange
in High Consequence Environments

Government agencies and their trusted partners around the world face a common challenge: how to exchange services and information more rapidly, securely, and effectively across organizational and industry boundaries. This kind of Information Exchange is at the heart of transformational improvements in high consequence environments, such as intelligence, healthcare, and, in particular, aviation.

That is why on February 10, 2010, the JPDO, working with the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA DC Chapter), is hosting the first annual Symposium on Information Exchange, Beyond SOA & Cloud: Next Generation Information Exchange in High Consequence Environments. At this one-day Conference, participants will discuss how future technologies will work together to enable Next Generation Information Exchange, and, specifically, as it relates to the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen).

NextGen Overview

Vision 100—Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act, Pub. L. 108-176, represents a multi-agency initiative to transform the future air transportation system. This act created the Joint Planning and Development Office as the means by which six government agencies will combine resources and talent to effect the transformation and further, Vision 100 directed that "the [Joint Planning and Development] Office shall consult with the public and ensure participation of experts from the private sector."
The NextGen Institute was established in March 2005 via an Other Transactions Agreement between the National Center for Advanced Technologies (NCAT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) "as the mechanism through which the JPDO will access world-class private sector expertise, tools, and facilities for application to NextGen activities and tasks." Professional, technical and consulting services from a broad spectrum of industry will be provided through the NextGen Institute "as requested by the JPDO leadership in support of planning, research, analysis, assessment, architecture, functional requirements setting, prototyping, simulation, and demonstrating future system attributes."

Co-located with the JPDO, the Institute is a fully involved partner in the day to day activities and process through which the JPDO accomplishes the Vision 100 and NextGen goals.
