Conference Agenda

9:00 am - 10:30 am Plenary Room

Joint Opening Keynote session

11:00 am - 12:30 pm Avionics Track

As the industry transitions from the Single European Sky (SES) operational framework to a new European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) framework, what are the challenges of the new framework for aviation, in particular for manufacturers and ANSPs? What’s the latest with SESAR 3 in delivering the Digital European Sky? How will the new framework, […]

11:00 am - 12:30 pm Testing Track

The digitalisation of avionics hardware and software testing and certification brings opportunities, but also challenges. Staff shortages and the need for skilled engineers with digital capabilities are significant concerns. Addressing these challenges requires effective training programs and strategies to attract new talent. The digital transformation of avionics testing necessitates a proactive approach to workforce development […]

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Avionics Track

The advent of 5G networks has brought significant advancements in connectivity, but also presents challenges, such as spectrum scarcity and potential interference with avionics systems. Spectrum co-existence strategies and advancements in datalink technology over Internet Protocol (IP), such as ACARS over IP, are essential to mitigate these issues. What is the status of connectivity systems […]

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Testing Track

New complex chips, often with multiple levels of cores, makes it difficult to understand their internal behaviour and design effective testing strategies, highlighting the challenges of certifying Systems on Chips (SoCs) in the context of multicore architectures. Issues such as power management, firmware updates, and the use of GPUs further complicate the certification process – […]

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Avionics Track

Safer skies rely on Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems that rely on Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to ensure safe and efficient air traffic flow. ANSPs operating remote centres and towers managing airspace architecture, an integrated ATC, and coordinating aircraft movements, have an increasing workload. How do developments in 4D trajectory based ops (TBO) support […]

4:00 pm - 5:30 pm Testing Track

AI and ML have provided some great opportunities for assisting speed and quality of testing, when such large amounts of data require analysis, and highlighted the importance of a robust testing strategy for AI systems. While AI can effectively analyze and digest large datasets, ensuring the quality of the AI algorithm and the accuracy of […]

9:00 am - 10:30 am Avionics Track

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into aviation is rapidly transforming the industry. As AI capabilities advance, there is growing interest in exploring human autonomy, where AI systems share operational responsibilities with pilots. While regulations are evolving to address the implications of AI and Machine Learning in aviation, the relatively unregulated nature of EVTOL aircraft […]

9:30 am - 10:30 am Testing Track

Digital twins are used for modeling, simulation and optimization, but the quality of the digital twin depends on the validity and accuracy of the data used to build it. While the level of scrutiny required for different types of digital twins varies, it’s crucial to ensure that the data is mapped correctly and meets quality […]

11:00 am - 12:30 pm Avionics Track

The aviation industry faces a growing threat of cyberattacks that could compromise the safety and security of flight operations, both in the sky and on the ground, but what are these latest threats? How can aircraft avoid data leaks? GPS spoofing and jamming also pose specific risks to GNSS systems. With the increase in remote […]

11:00 am - 12:30 pm Testing Track

The complexity of multi-core and multi-system architectures, often built using heterogeneous components like Systems on Chip (SoC), and the mixing of multi-core processors with Open Systems Architecture, provide challenges to test avionics systems, and make it difficult to understand their behavior and define comprehensive testing requirements. Traditional testing methods, designed for single-core systems, are not […]

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Avionics Track

Advancements in technologies plays a key role in the development of an efficient aircraft and enhance capabilities. How can Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology offer advanced capabilities for monitoring and surveillance in aviation? What can sensors and data fusion do for avionics, enhancing situational awareness and improving safety? How can fibre optic intercom systems provide […]

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Testing Track

The evolving landscape of software testing in avionics, may have emphasized the need for new languages and tools to address future challenges. While traditional programming languages have been the mainstay, there is a growing interest in model-based approaches and alternative languages like RUST and CHERI. We need to consider emerging technologies like hardware extensions and […]
