The internal stakehlders f the Gaming Exercise are the EP3 WP4 Expert Grup (EG), Fast Time Simulatin (FTS), and Prttyping Exercises that cmplete the validatin activities included in EP3 WP4.3. The main bjective f the Gaming Exercise is t define the relevant prcedures establishing: The rles and respnsibilities f the different actrs fr identifying, measuring, mnitring, predicting and reslving the prpsed En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management prcesses; The interactins between the implied actrs; and Assess the feasibility f new separatin mdes and assciated prcedures; The bjectives are met using a number f techniques: Rle play; PROMAS, a prcess mdelling tl; and A web based tl allwing re-executin f games played during rle play. The rle play game will cncentrate n Operatinal Scenari 38 (Flight in the executin phase in a 4-D envirnment). It will gather the main actrs invlved in En-Rute Cntrl, including the flight crew and the netwrk managers, in additin t the ATCO s. Participants will play rles in relatin t their current expertise. Many different scenaris will be run, each refined during the expert grup meeting sessins. PROMAS prcess simulatin will play a number f predefined scenaris invlving the Multi Sectr Planner (MSP), the executive and planning cntrllers and the flight crew, and exercise a number f different cnflict situatins. It will allw cnfirming the feasibility f underlying prcesses defined in the rle play games and prviding sme figures in terms f capacity and cntrller wrklad. A flash game will be develped in rder t capture the results f the rle play fr disseminatin purpses. Activities are planned between Octber 2008 and September 2009, gruped int 5 wrking sessins. Befre each sessin, pen issues frm the previus game sessin will be inserted in the expert grup questinnaires which will be sent t the experts. The gaming sessins will always be cmbined with the crrespnding expert grup meeting, t reduce verall travel and ensure experts are prperly briefed fr the game runs. The cnclusins f the Gaming Exercises will be summarised in the Gaming Exercises Reprt, including all infrmatin and cnclusins extracted frm the games.

Sectin 2 explains the fit with the EP3 WP4 validatin strategy, as well as the bjectives and expected utputs, justifying them. Sectin 3 shws the Gaming Exercise management while Sectin 4 gives a wide verview f the Prcess Simulatin that will be used in this exercise. Sectin 5 gives the planning and management f the exercise and Sectin 7 and Sectin 8 give the analysis specificatins and the detailed exercise design, respectively. Finally, Sectin 9 lists the references and applicable dcuments. 1.4 BACKGROUND The EPISODE 3 prject validatin strategy [2] fcuses mre n establishing cnsistency f validatin prcess and ensuring that the necessary enablers are in place t allw the effective, cncept fcussed validatin activity, which must take place at the peratinal dmain, WP3, 4 & 5. The validatin activity is reflected thrugh the fllwing gals: Establish an understanding f SESAR Target Cncept within the peratinal segment fr which the WP is respnsible. Identify validatin activities and bjectives based n existing research and best expert pinin n relevance fr SESAR, t include: a clear rientatin twards bjective data cllectin within the perfrmance framewrk including the identificatin where pssible f lcal targets; prvisin f detail n key elements f the target cncept; Page 8 f 39 Issued by the Episde 3 cnsrtium fr the Episde 3 prject c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin and Episde 3 cnsrtium.

9 Episde 3 D WP4 Gaming n Queue, Trajectry and Separatin Management Cnslidated Plan Versin : 1.02 identificatin f issues f imprtance t the further develpment f the cncept. Frm these basic activities, the EP3 WP4 has derived a specific validatin strategy fr the wrk package [3]. It prvides the necessary link between the SESAR Cncept f Operatins [4] and the validatin activities in this prject. The methdlgy is based n E-OCVM (Eurpean Operatinal Cncept Validatin Methdlgy) Steps 0, State Cncept and Assumptins, and 1, Set Validatin Strategy. This En-Rute validatin strategy describes an apprach illustrating hw the ATM Target Cncept culd be assessed and validated in terms f cncept refinement and sme selected perfrmance areas. The prblem statement and the prpsed slutins are derived frm SESAR deliverable D3 and detailed in the relevant Detailed Operatinal Descriptins [5]. They are expressed in terms f Lines f Change and Operatinal Imprvement steps. A first mapping and scping f the envisaged validatin exercises twards the Lines f Change and the Operatinal Imprvement steps has been dne. As SESAR fllws a perfrmance-riented strategy, the targets are set in terms f Key Perfrmance Areas. A mre detailed breakdwn defines the Fcus Areas and the assciated Key Perfrmance Indicatrs. The cntributin f this validatin strategy twards the fcus areas is prvided. Finally, the validatin tls and techniques fr each exercise are defined. An expert grup will prvide clarificatin n SESAR cncepts t supprt exercise leaders r t reslve aspects f the SESAR CnOps (cncept f peratins) [4] where there is a lack f cmmn understanding. A mdel-based simulatin will examine cmplexity management and determine the effects n the verall netwrk f measures applied t individual flights. Gaming exercises will seek t clarify a range f SESAR trajectry and separatin management measures by wrking thrugh the SESAR CnOps [4], the DODs and OS in accrdance with gaming practise. Finally, a series f prttyping exercises will prvide a further level f detail by using prttype cntrller tls with peratinal ATCOs t determine the effectiveness f pssible decmplexificatin slutins. The clarificatin f peratinal cncept elements t be used in the EP3 WP4.3 exercises is ne f the tasks f the Gaming Exercises. Very generally speaking, the Gaming exercises will generate input fr sme f these exercises. Its key utputs will cnsist f a better understanding f hw the cncept needs t perate t be evaluated. This Gaming Exercise is included in the EP3 WP 4.3 that addresses the perability and perfrmance f the prcesses related t the day f peratin when the plan develped thrugh the cllabrative planning prcesses is executed. The Gaming exercise described in this dcument is the EP3 WP 4.3.3, En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management Gaming Exercise, the bjective f which is t explre en-rute prcedures fr perfrming the related activities. The Gaming Exercise will be used as a tl t assess the viability f the different prcesses invlved and t supprt the wrk and the findings f the WP4.3.1 Expert Grup. The experts f EP3 WP4.3.1 will cntribute t the games and t the interpretatin f the results. 1.5 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Term ACC Air Traffic Cntrl Centre ATCO Air Traffic Cntrller ATM Air Traffic Management CnOps Cncept f Operatins DOD Detailed Operatinal Descriptin EG Expert Grup Definitin Page 9 f 39 Issued by the Episde 3 cnsrtium fr the Episde 3 prject c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin and Episde 3 cnsrtium.

The Gaming Exercise will prduce the fllwing results: Technical clarificatins cncerning: It is expected t prvide a better descriptin f the gaming technique after all gaming sessins. It is the first time this rle-based technique will be used t clarify cncepts, prcess r prcedures in the ATM wrld, fr this reasn an expected utput will be t establish the usefulness r useless f this technique t clarify cncepts in the ATM field. Operatinal clarificatins cncerning: The definitin f En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management, the part f the 4D trajectry cncept that will be available in 2020, this is Initial 4D functin, and specifically f the scenari OS-38 Flights in the Executin Phase in a 4D envirnment ; Operatinal Hyptheses r/and assumptins identified in the EP3 WP4.3.1 Expert Grup; The Timeline assciated with the peratin f En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management ; The Rles, Respnsibilities, Strategies, Objectives, Interactins and Prcedures invlved in En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management and Dynamic Airspace Rerganisatin. Validatin clarificatins cncerning: Assessment f expected impact in SESAR KPAs, analysing the effects and cnsidering the necessary trade-ff between them due t the implementatin f Queue & Trajectry Management, Separatin Management and Cmplexity Management; The criteria needed t identify and categrise high-cmplexity peratins, znes and/r vlumes. The criteria will cnsist f a list cupled with the cnditins needed t use each item; The criteria t select a separatin mde ensuring the best cmprmise between freseen technical feasibility and perceived benefits. This will be identified in WP4.3.1 but WP4.3.3 will help it being mre precise. The minimum useful utcme wuld be a clear definitin f the steps that define the Queue & Trajectry Management, Separatin Management and Cmplexity Management prcedures with all actrs and their respnsibilities identified in each step. 2.5 CHOICE OF INDICATORS AND METRICS The rle-based technique used in gaming sessins is nt a gd way t btain quantitative measurements. What it can be reached are qualitative results that give an verall idea f the cncepts. The nly metrics used within this exercise are thse that PROMAS may measure. See sectin 4).

In the design f all types f games (rle-based, FTS r Flash games) cnstraints and guidelines frm the DOD E4 and E6, as well as OS-38 will be kept in mind. Hwever many changes may happen due t the results and cnclusins the experts agree in the WP4.3.1 EG wrkshps. Fr all reasns explained abve, hyptheses, airspace r traffic infrmatin as well as the equipment may vary frm ne scenari t ther. All this infrmatin will appear in the WP4.3.3 Gaming Final Reprt. 3.2 TOOL(S) AND TECHNIQUE(S) USED TO CONDUCT THE GAMING EXERCISES Backgrund Befre prceeding with the descriptin f the Gaming Technique that will be used t design, implement and perfrm the Gaming Exercises, the reader must be cautined abut what the Gaming Exercises is nt. The Gaming Exercises will: Nt be useful t btain accurate values f the different KPAs - i.e. nly estimatins will be prvided.

16 Episde 3 D WP4 Gaming n Queue, Trajectry and Separatin Management Cnslidated Plan Versin : 1.02 Nt present an accurate simulatin f the airspace and the peratinal prcesses invlved. Gaming will be used as a technique that prmtes nn-rutine thinking, thus enabling ut-fthe-bx thinking. Gaming will prvide additinal insight t the findings f the EP3 WP4.3.1 Expert Grup results, whilst validating the principles behind En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management. The gaming design technique that has been defined allws imprving n the gals (i.e. either by refining them r by changing the prcesses that lead t them), replacing the gals (if they prve unfeasible) r changing the game altgether (if the apprach r the results d nt prve t be viable) The main hyptheses that will be used t design and build the game, is that the En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management game will be a grup game, which is gal seeking, finite, and cperative. The participants as described in Sectin 8.1 will wrk tgether with the gal f achieving the stated bjectives (Sectin 2.3). The gaming exercise participants are expected t cperate when creating value, and t cmpete when dividing it up; success will cme frm playing the right game. The game is finite because it is ver when the gal 2 is reached. The next gaming exercise will either imprve the attained gals, replace them, r be cmpletely replaced. The game is cperative because the peple n the team help each ther t reach the gal. The measure f their quality as a team is hw well they cperate and cmmunicate during the game. Participants will receive inquiries at the end f the gaming sessins t prvide feedback n the design and technique. Everything mentined abve is related with the rle-based games, which will be the mst imprtant input fr this exercise. Hwever, tw ther types f simulatins will be perfrmed within this WP: a FTS using PROMAS and a flash game Game Design The rle-based game design will be based n tw main structures: The game design principles and the game fundamental structure. The game design principles will be used t prvide a framewrk fr the gaming exercises thrugh the prvisin f the infrmatin necessary t prepare and cnduct the game. The game fundamental structure identifies and describes the cmpnents that will cnstitute a particular game. The fllwing game design principles will be used t prepare the gaming exercise items: Winning cnditins fr bth the grup and the individual players. These cnditins will be linked t the KPAs. The cnditins will be used t spark the ccurrence f cnflicts; Game rules describing when and hw a player can take an actin; Initial Game setup describing the validatin scenari as defined by the EP3 WP4.3.1 Expert Grup; Metrics 3 used t measure the success f the game; 2 A gaming gal culd be the definitin f the prcesses related t queue management. Anther example f a game gal, culd be minimising the number f changes resulting frm an RBT review prcess. 3 The metric used in the games is the number f issues raised i.e. items related t the Queue Trajectry and Separatin Management peratinal descriptin-. This metric indicates the participatin and the effectiveness f the game. It must be nted, that nce the peratinal cncept descriptin reaches maturity, this metric will tend t zer.

17 Episde 3 D WP4 Gaming n Queue, Trajectry and Separatin Management Cnslidated Plan Versin : 1.02 Expected game utput. The game fundamental structure will be presented thrugh fur cmpnent grups: Actrs / Rles f the players. Each ne will have a brief nte abut their expected value t the game; Inputs and utputs t the game; Prcesses invlved in the game; Infrmatin Sets available t the actrs / rles including the restrictins and cnditins f use. Three different types f games will be used in a sequence 4 : A rle play style game played with actrs at a table. It will be used t define initial rles and respnsibilities; Using a prcess mdelling tl (PROMAS) t analyse the rle f the cmpnents in the scenari and t reprduce the system peratin activities. See Sectin 4; Using a web based tl 5 (Flash designed game) t mdel and execute the prcesses simulatins defined in the rle-based games. It will nt be a new game, but a tl helping the understanding f the results btained using previus games. The idea is use this flash game as a disseminatin tl. T this purpse, it will be needed experts feedback abut the game. Hwever, as a disseminatin tl it may be used jin t WP2.5. It has nt a time cnstraint as the rest f the games Game Each En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management game will cnsist f: A set f actrs / rles (as derived frm the EP3 WP4.2.2 and validatin scenaris); A set f game items that represent available prcesses and infrmatin; A set f winning cnditins. Grup cnditins are public; while each participant s winning cnditins must be private. This facilitates the anticipated cnflicts between public knwledge n ATM system perfrmance premises and the individual airspace user cmpetitive strategy; A rule set. The game will be rganised and cnducted by a Game Manager. The Game Manager will be respnsible fr distributing the actr / rles, the game items and the winning cnditins. He / She will als ensure that the rule set is enfrced. Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 present a summary f the game and a set f pssible game items respectively. Figure 3-1 shws sme f the interactin between the different game actrs and the different available prcesses. A game item will represent each ne f the actrs and f the prcesses. 4 The use f each specific game type will be based n the maturity f the peratinal cncept descriptin. The decisin t use each type f game will be based n the stability f the available CnOps descriptins. 5 Once the peratinal cncept descriptin is stable, it will be pssible t prduce the design fr a game based n flash that can be used in the web. This game will allw t expse mre peple t the game, and will be useful als as a disseminatin tl.

This infrmatin may change alng the gaming sessins, but it will be the starting pint. It is suppsed that players will perfrm the game if they have available all the infrmatin describe abve (initial game scenari, prcesses sequence and game-cards) Game Develpment The Gaming team will start its wrk with an analysis f the existing SESAR CnOps relevant infrmatin. This infrmatin will be used tgether with the analysis f the EP3 WP4.3.1 Expert Grup results t identify the fundamental structure f the game and its main design principles. Next prcess will be the game design and as the last result f this prcess a Game Template will be elabrated t prduce the actual games. The Game Template will be tailred t the specific validatin scenari and bjectives identified by the Expert Grup. The result will be the Game exercise. Once the Game exercise is prepared, a Gaming sessin will be held; the results frm the Gaming sessin will be recrded and analysed t prduce the Gaming Exercise Reprt.

21 Episde 3 D WP4 Gaming n Queue, Trajectry and Separatin Management Cnslidated Plan Versin : 1.02 At least ne bserver will take ntes during the game develpment. The bserver will have tw tls: a cpy f the manager script against which she/he will supervise the develpment f the game and the remarks dne in each mment f the game; a list f the main issues freseen t be discussed. At the end f each game: the mst utstanding issues will be discussed after each gaming sessin and they will be summarized fr general agreement. Issues that were nt slved will feed the expert grup questinnaires; Game Manager and his/her assistant will distribute evaluated questinnaires abut the game technique. This infrmatin will help EP3 WP4.3.3 t imprve their exercise. Besides the abve mentined, the game will have white bards where the infrmatin flw will be duplicated. Any deviatin frm the script will be recrded and incrprated in the final summary. 3.3 GAME ASSUMPTIONS It is assumed that the state f maturity f the SESAR Detailed Operatinal Descriptins fr En-Rute Executin Phase - i.e. main wrk dcument fr the players participating in the exercise - at the beginning f the gaming will be sufficient fr the achievement f the gaming bjectives. As each Game is designed new assumptins will be taken int accunt. These assumptins will appear justified in the WP4.3.3 Exercise Final Reprt. 4 PROCESSES SIMULATION 4.1 BACKGROUND The design f a prcess mdel must be validated t assure the apprpriate functinality and cherence f the management prcesses. Fr this reasn, exercises are develped by means f expert grups, gaming exercises and real time simulatin techniques, prttyping sessins and RTS. Currently, the use f fast time simulatin tls, FTS, in the ATM field is mainly fcused n develping perfrmance analyses instead f prcess assessments. The use f FTS tls t perfrm prcesses assessments will cmplement the gaming exercises. Particularly, the prcess simulatin that will be held within WP4.3.3 will fcus n clarifying and assessing the prcesses related t En-rute Queue, Trajectry & Separatin Management. These prcesses have been analysed and explred by the experts bth in the Expert grup (EP3 WP4.3.1) and the Gaming Exercise (EP3 WP4.3.3). The PROMAS mdel will assess these prcesses and the invlved actrs and their rles, emphasizing with the rle played by the Multi Sectr Planner (MSP). 4.2 OBJECTIVES The Prcess Simulatin exercise has the fllwing bjectives: Clarificatin f the cncept: Refine MSP rle; Page 21 f 39 Issued by the Episde 3 cnsrtium fr the Episde 3 prject c-funded by the Eurpean Cmmissin and Episde 3 cnsrtium.

22 Episde 3 D WP4 Gaming n Queue, Trajectry and Separatin Management Cnslidated Plan Versin : 1.02 Analyse usefulness f the current planning cntrller cexisting with MSP. Assessment f prcess feasibility: Measure the number f infrmatin exchanges between the different invlved actrs and the number f triggered prcesses t detect the main prcesses and actrs that culd be suppsed t be likely bttlenecks; Define an initial cnflict reslutin prcess updating RBTs; Analyse fur events regarding with reslving cnflicts: When n cnflict ccurs: transfer baseline; Immediate cnflict; Cnflict in a sectr near the brder; Cnflict in a sectr far frm the brder. Asses the rle f the invlved actrs in each prcess wrking in a traffic-situatin situatin, develping series f prcesses and nt nly individual nes. Explratin f new techniques: Demnstrate that executive, planning and MSP prcesses can be linked by PROMAS t be used in future studies. 4.3 HYPOTHESES The hyptheses belw will be explred in the gaming sessins. H1: The Multi Sectr Planner rle will lead t decrease the number f ptential cnflicts t be slved by the executive cntrller. H2: The Multi Sectr Planner rle will lead t increase the capacity f the en-rute sectr under its respnsibility. 4.4 METHOD Overview f Methd PROMAS is a tl t represent the peratin f any type f rganisatin r system by means f fast time simulatins based n discrete events. This sftware prvides a detailed event lg referring t the system peratins. After prcessing the simulatin utput data, the required infrmatin is extracted t evaluate relevant utputs. By using ne f the multiple capabilities f this applicatin, it is pssible t reprduce a game. The prgramme perfrms the rle f the cmpnents in the scenari and reprduces the system peratin activities. T sum up, PROMAS ffers a new Gaming-cmpatible technique, t assess cmplex systems by means f Fast-Time Prcess Simulatins. After analysing the prcesses used in the gaming sessins, the relevant Gaming part will be mdelled, and subsequently the prcesses simulatins will be executed. In the framewrk f this exercise, PROMAS will be supplied with the prcesses defined in the initial Gaming exercises. It will then mdel the prcesses and prvide a first assessment f their viability.

23 Episde 3 D WP4 Gaming n Queue, Trajectry and Separatin Management Cnslidated Plan Versin : Setting Up and Executing the Prcess Simulatins The Prcess Simulatin exercise will nt require experts t play the rles in the simulatin. Six Prcess Simulatins will be executed, and further detailed belw: The PROMAS platfrm (with a specific cnfiguratin); each simulatin will have its wn specific cnfiguratin. The cnfiguratin will be used t test different ptins f the actrs and aircraft behaviur when facing a cnflict situatin; A PROMAS Scenari: a scenari is cmpsed by the set f rules, actrs and the traffic sample, as well as the set f parameters that defines the strategy t be assessed; these scenaris will be based n the interim reprt and the OS-38. The simulatin will include 6 scenaris: Scenari 1: Executive and Planning, with 2 sectrs; Scenari 2: Executive and Planning, with 4 sectrs; Scenari 3: MSP, Executive and Planning, with 2 sectrs; Scenari 4: MSP, Executive and Planning, with 4 sectrs; Scenari 5: MSP and Executive, with 2 sectrs; Scenari 6: MSP and Executive, with 4 sectrs. In each scenari, fur different triggers will be available, depending n the type f cnflict. Trigger A: an aircraft is transferred frm a sectr t anther withut cnflicts; Trigger B: an immediate cnflict ccurs. In this case, immediate cnflict is understd as a cnflict appearing in the sectr where the aircraft belngs; Trigger C: a cnflict ccurs in anther sectr that belngs the MSP Area, near its entry brder; Trigger D: a cnflict ccurs in anther sectr that belngs t the MSP Area, far frm the entry brder f the sectr. In Scenari 1 and 2 (Executive and Planning) all cnflicts will be immediate cnflicts, hence nly triggers A and B will be launched. These scenaris will simulate the current cntrlling rles. In scenari 3 and 4 (MSP, Executive and Planning), all types f cnflicts may ccur (immediate and nn-immediate), hence triggers A, B, C and D will be launched depending f the cnflict. In these scenaris, MSP will have a glbal view f all the sectrs and will ease the wrk f the planning and the executive cntrllers. In scenari 5 and 6 (MSP and Executive), all types f cnflicts may ccur (immediate and nn-immediate), hence triggers A, B, C and D will be launched depending f the cnflict. In additin, planning cntrller is nt an actr in these scenaris and MSP will develp the functins f the planning cntrllers f all the sectrs, with a glbal view.

Isdefe s rle in the Gaming exercises is as that f bth a referee fr the game and facilitatr in the discussins, interfering as little as pssible in the final cnclusins extracted. The activities will be gruped in five phases, each ne fllwing an iterative sequence cmpsed by the fllwing steps: Game preparatin; Game set-up including briefing; Game perfrmance, Game debriefing; Result analysis; Each Game will take place in at least a single sessin, depending n the size and cmplexity f the game; it might be pssible t hld mre than ne gaming sessin. T reduce travel, gaming sessins will be cmbined with ther meetings, preferably with WP4.3.1 En-Rute QTSM Expert Grup meetings, as bth WPs are interrelated Game Preparatin Using the infrmatin generated during the game design and elabratin activities, the Game manager will prepare the different infrmatin packages and tls he/she will use fr the crrect develpment f the game. He / She will distribute the agenda and deliver the infrmatin needed t prepare the gaming sessin Game Set-up Including Briefing Befre the Gaming sessin starts, the Game manager will prepare the tls, the infrmatin sets and the prcesses. Once it is prepared, he / she will prceed t explain the game thrugh a presentatin, which will include: Objectives f the game; Scenari in which it will be based and; Which are the rules and mechanics t the participants? Befre the game starts, the Game Manager and his/her assistant will assign the rles t each participant and prvide them each infrmatin package, explaining their missin in the game. Questins and cmments will be addressed at this stage Game Perfrmance The game will prceed accrding t the script (used fr the events) and the already described rules. The game will start when the Game Manager finish his/her explanatin and indicate t the first actr invlved in the actin that he/she can start the game. It will be a fix initial time t cmplete the game, but it des nt matter if time is lnger if game discussins are s interesting than the Game Manager may btain mre results and cnclusins frm them than with the current develpment f the game. Discussins nt directly referred t the game executin will be avided.
