Abstract

This paper investigates the combined use of ATLAS2K and the IVI Signal Interface in ATS architectures. The analysis of these initiatives identifies a set of common features and demonstrates that they address complementary areas of ATS architectures. This situation makes them an excellent fit for establishing the foundation of a modular, open, distributed and coherent COM-based ATS architecture
