Abstract
The management of Air Traffic Service (ATS), done for independent operators of diverse air companies, uses several computational systems to allow aircraft identification and flight monitoring. These systems provide levels of efficiency and satisfaction considered reliable. However, not much has been done in order to improve the ATS systems when it comes to the specific needs of each passenger, for example, to prevent losses of connection of flights generated for delays, or even to compensate delays. The CDM (Collaborative Decision Making) concept, which allows the air company to participate in traffic management, provides a better quality of service to meet the necessities of the passengers. This work describes a use case of the CDM concept, presenting diverse elements of an efficient computational infrastructure for this application.
