The Multi-Center TMA System Architecture and Its Impact on Inter-Facility Collaboration
The success of the Traffic Management Adviso r (TMA) system at Fort Worth Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) and other ARTCCs has prompted the further development of TMA to address problems in the congested environment of the Northeast corridor of the US National Airspace System (NAS). This reg ion is characterized by terminal areas whose arrivals approach from more than one ARTCC thereby requiring greater coordination in arrival traffic planning. NASA and the FAA are developing a Multi -Center Traffic Management Advisor (McTMA) tool that introduces a new infrastructure to allow individual TMA systems to communicate with each other, thereby forming a Mc TMA network. The prototype system allow s the four ARTCCs of the northeast (New York, Washington, Boston and Cleveland) and the Philadelphia (PHL) Terminal Radar Approach Control Facility (TRACON) to share a regional view of the arrival demand at the PHL airport. This shared view will enable these faci lities to proactively address PHL congestion issues through better coordination and management of traffic into an adjacent air traffic control unit, be it a sector or a facility. This paper presents a high -level description of the McTMA architecture and potential collaboration possibilities that may arise from using the system

DESIGNING AN E-LEARNING SYSTEM FOR REMOTE EMPLOYEES
Abstract:
According to forecasts, by 2022 60 % of office workers around the world will be regularly engaged in distant working
activities (DWA). DWA components (DWA requires additional staff competences) and significant dynamics of this
type of employment (DWA is rapidly spreading among high-tech industries) determine the need for domestic personnel
to acquire new or expand previously acquired competences needed to perform DWA. But now the design and
development of e-learning systems for remote workers (which most closely match the specifics of DWA) is not given
proper attention. Thus, the goal of this study has been defined, which is to identify the key principles of the design and
construction guidelines for development of an adaptive and integrated system of e-learning for remote employees based
on establishing the characteristics of the current stage of the DWA application.
Generalized analysis of the characteristics of the modern stage of DWA application has shown that the scope of
DWA is rapidly increasing and their projected growth will continue; almost all types of DWA (individual, full-time,
collective, mobile, in a TV center or a coworking space, etc.) are spreading; DWA success in each case depends on
whether the performer's personal goals and the enterprise goals (corporate goals) agree and whether the performer has
all the necessary competences to perform DWA.
Based on these current trends in DWA development the researchers have determined the principal terms and
guidelines for designing an integrated and individually adaptive e-learning system for remote workers that as fully as
possible takes into account their personality, specific nature of work and learning goals they se
