distinguish Operating system An operationalsystem is a term used in data warehousing to refer to a system that is used to process the day to day transactions of an organization. These systems are designed so processing of day to day transactions is performed efficiently and the integrity of the transactional data is preserved. Synonyms Sometimes operational systems are referred to as operational database s, transaction processing system s, or online transaction processing systems OLTP . However, the use of the last two terms as synonyms may be confusing, because operational systems can be batch processing systems as well.

DEFAULTSORT Operational Display System Category Avionics Aviation stub ...Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Operational Display Systems refers to systems used for tracking the status of multiple objects in avionics . Operational Displays Systems are usually being developed by large countries civil aviation authorities such as the Federal Aviation Administration in the USA , or the main Service Providers in Europe , such as DFS , NATS , DSNA , AENA , MUAC , etc, coordinated by Eurocontrol in Europe , with inputs from technology companies and air traffic controllers associations. Air traffic control systems gradually evolved from the old sweeping radar to modern computer driven systems showing maps, weather info, airplane routes and digitized radar tracks on an ergonomic console. Whereas in the past the information came only from a radar, current systems get inputs from a variety of sources. Radar is still used multiple sources instead of just one , but is now complemented by transponder data the aircraft sending out information regarding altitude and identifications and soon satellite data for more accurate positioning and overseas navigation . As most data is now digital, this opens the way for extra functionalities to be embedded in the modern Operational Display System, such as trajectory prediction, conflict warnings, Air traffic flow management traffic flow management , arrival optimisation, etc. Two separate competing systems are currently operating within the US, Common ARTS Automated Radar Terminal System Lockheed Martin and STARS Raytheon , with Common ARTS operating at the busiest facilities NY, Dallas, Atlanta, Southern California, Chicago, Washington DC area, Denver, St Louis, Minneapolis and San Francisco area within the US.
