PLATFORM HEALTH MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SHARING VIA SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE

<title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>Sharing platform health information in a disconnected environment requires the use of design strategies that consider the various systems that must participate in the creation, processing, and consuming of component health information. Using a common representation of a vehicle structure, platform health can be calculated, predicted, and communicated to end users at all levels of the enterprise. Implementing a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) using a Grid Services approach enables a central application to manage and share data as needed; performing data integration, data cleansing, and data normalization. This design pattern facilitates holistic collaboration for platform health management on-platform, at-platform, within the tactical domain, at the national level, and at the OEM location.</p>
