The team will describe how they developed an application based on open source software for the FAA’s System Wide Information Management (SWIM) and Integrated Terminal Weather System (ITWS) programs, at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center, under the direction of Tony Colon. They will discuss how open source software and Apache Camel enabled them to provide real-time weather updates in industry standard data formats to users of the National Airspace System (NAS). They will also present a live demonstration of a weather-viewing application that reflects the value of using open source software and open standards in public-sector deployments.
