Provide guidance documents for those items needing standardization to the AEEC.

Provide input and data to other industry forums and liaison with them as an overall knowledge body (e.g., draw a roadmap to help coordinate what is going on in ARINC 763, 664, 628 and other industry groups).

Mission Statement




Meetings: Via telecon, and only in-person when absolutely necessary and in conjunction with TC or other industry meeting .

Near Term Deliverables (Year 2000 Targets) Prepare and deliver Educational Breakout Sessions (Three 45 minute

sessions) at the annual WAEA Conference in Sept 2000 Define Reference model (include different architectures & technology

timeline) outlining the end-to-end system for Internet onboard identifying key interfaces and including the hardware, software and companies involved

Define Key Issues: Outline of things that need to be addressed
