2018 IEEE/AIAA 37th Digital Avionics Systems Conference

Topics of Interest Include, But Are Not Limited To:

• Open Architectures

Open interface standards, viability of open and closed architectures, operating systems, ARINC-653, alternate API solutions, communication standards, use of Commercial-OffThe-Shelf (COTS) technologies; modularity vs. scalability

• IMA Design, Integration & Optimization

Allocation process and tools for Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) system resources and performance, integration tools, verification & certification, configuration strategies, scalability, assessing system demand and resource availability, mitigation of common mode failures, system maintenance, and optimization techniques.

• Avionics Communications Infrastructure

Selfforming/healing networks, wireless networks, quality of service (QoS), data buses, intra-processor and inter-process communication, data partitioning, protocols, multi-protocol gateways, message routing, spectrum, and passenger communication mechanisms.

• Integrated Avionics for Information Security and/or Integrity

Multiple Independent Levels of Security/Safety (MILS), physical & virtual system firewalls, data security for shared data buses, operating system security, information monitoring and quality assurance, information management.

• Communications/Navigation/Surveillance (CNS) Systems

Communications systems, data links, satellite-based navigation and landing systems, inertial navigation, and surveillance systems for traffic and collision avoidance.

• Human Factors

Issues on human interaction with automation such as mode awareness, flight deck displays and decision support tools, methods for avoiding the presentation of hazardously misleading information, and information abstraction and conveyance concepts that enable appropriate levels of workload and crew coordination.

• Flight Deck Systems & Interfaces

Advanced systems, interfaces, and enabling avionics technologies that can combine multiple sources of disparate data to provide coherent and effective displays that also reduce the propensity for pilot error, confusion, or misinterpretation.
