Master thesis deals with the issue of the transmission and processing of aeronautical data in AIXM format. The development of the software tool for analysis of AIXM format is described in this thesis. This application parses the AIXM file and shows its content into Treeview component.

Diploma thesis deals with the aeronautical data format AIXM and exploring possibilities for processing meteorological messages in the format WXXM. This diploma thesis describes the development of application which handles both formats. Final application can evaluate appropriate runway on the basis of meteorological information.

In air traffic, safety is the key word. Safety is kept in numerous ways. One of these ways is with the help of Aeronautical Information (AI). AI is all information regarding air traffic, i.e. aerodrome hours of operation, weather reports and information about unserviceable navigational aids. Sometimes it happens that some of the information does not reach the pilots in the aircraft, which can have a negative impact on safety. This thesis examines the flow of AI all the way from the originator of the information to the end-user, and analyzes it to find where the errors occur. The thesis is based on the rules and regulations set by ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organization, two field trips to the Swedish AI provider LFV, and interviews with four airlines, Novair, NextJet, Malmö Aviation, and SAS. The results exposes where in the flow the weakness exists, and finally gives advice as to how these weaknesses can be addressed.

This master’s thesis is dealing with problems of XML data compression. It describes a characterization and important concepts of XML language as well as AIXM as XML data format. It documents contemporary compression methods of XML and divides them into appropriate groups. Thereinafter a testing of XML data compression using mentioned methods and evaluation of results is implemented. With a consideration of processed data there is created and presented an application which enables lossy and lossless compression of AIXM with the help of particular elements data analysis. All of it with user selection options of AIXM objects and way of resultant compression.
