SWIM Governance

SWIM Governance is the process of enabling a set of enforceable policies, procedures, standards, tools, and organizational activities to ensure that all of the independent SOA-based efforts come together to meet FAA/NAS business objectives.

Policy and Standard Development

To develop standards, policies, and procedural guidelines that support the implementation of the SWIM governance framework. This includes the creation of robust standards and procedural guidelines that are critical for the service-oriented development within SWIM-enabled programs.

To provide expert support and guidance to SWIM-enabled programs, ensuring that they can effectively follow the processes and activities prescribed by the SWIM Governance policies and regulations. This will involve direct assistance and oversight, ensuring that the programs are aligned with governance directives.

Service Discovery and Lifecycle Control

To facilitate visibility and control over all SWIM-enabled services by operating and enhancing the NSRR. To ensure that the NSRR serves as a dynamic, flexible mechanism for service discovery and that it effectively supports emerging requirements and technological evolution of SWIM components.

To automate and standardize the way services are managed throughout their lifecycle by implementing policy-based management tools within the NSRR. This includes tracking the development of services, managing changes, and notifying stakeholders of updates.

Service Level Management

Service Level Management (SLM) is a collection of business processes that ensure that services provisioned to service consumers are clearly defined, negotiated, agreed upon, monitored, and reviewed.  SLM encompasses processes for setting performance expectations, negotiating formal agreements, and maintaining service quality.

By establishing clear agreements and robust monitoring practices, SLM helps ensure that SWIM services meet the needs of both providers and consumers. This framework enhances service effectiveness, reliability, and accountability, supporting dependable interactions between all stakeholders.

Collaboration with International Partners

Engage with international partners and actively participate in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) initiatives to support the establishment of a globally integrated SWIM framework.

Continue leading collaborative efforts to develop standardized solutions for exchanging service information across independently developed and managed SWIM instances.
