Intelligent Information Fusion in the Aviation Domain: A Semantic-Web based Approach
ABSTRACT
Information fusion from multiple sources is a critical requirement for System Wide Information Management in the
National Airspace (NAS). NASA and the FAA envision creating an ‘integrated pool’ of information originally coming from
different sources, which users, intelligent agents and NAS decision support tools can tap into. In this paper we present the
results of our initial investigations into the requirements and prototype development of such an integrated information pool
for the NAS. We have attempted to ascertain key requirements for such an integrated pool based on a survey of DSS tools
that will benefit from this integrated pool. We then advocate key technologies from computer science research areas such as
the semantic web, information integration, and intelligent agents that we believe are well suited to achieving the envisioned
system wide information management capabilities.
