Page 5 - ITU-T Focus Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring – Avionics and Aviation Communications Systems

Foreword

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
telecommunications, 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.
