Page 5 - ITU-T Focus Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring - Key findings, recommendations for next steps and future work

Foreword

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
tele com mu ni ca tions, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating
and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications
on a worldwide basis.

The procedures for establishment of focus groups are defined in Recommendation ITU-T A.7. The ITU-T Focus
Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring – FG AC – was established by
the ITU-T Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group (TSAG) in June 2014 and completed the work
on its deliverables in December 2015. More information is available at http:// itu. int/ en/ ITU- T/ focusgroups/ ac/ .
Deliverables of focus groups can take the form of technical reports, specifications, etc. and aim to provide
material for consideration by the parent group in its standardization activities. Deliverables of focus groups
are not ITU-T Recommendations.
