NOSTROMO: Lessons learned, conclusions and way forward
It addresses the application of metamodelling techniques to enhance air traffic management systems in Europe, but appears to be an explanatory/position paper rather than presenting new research results.
This white paper explains how metamodelling can benefit air traffic management research by defining its capabilities and limitations, specifically in the context of SESAR Solutions designed to improve key performance indicators.
This White Paper sets out to explain the value that metamodelling can bring to air traffic management (ATM) research. It will define metamodelling and explore what it can, and cannot, do. The reader is assumed to have basic knowledge of SESAR: the Single European Sky ATM Research project. An important element of SESAR, as the technological pillar of the Single European Sky initiative, is to bring about improvements, as measured through specific key performance indicators (KPIs), and as implemented by a series of so-called SESAR 'Solutions'. These 'Solutions' are new or improved operational procedures or technologies, designed to meet operational and performance improvements described in the European ATM Master Plan.
