ONBOARD ANALYTICS SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE

Abstract:

An aircraft is configured to perform onboard analytics using available onboard systems. The aircraft comprises a cabin and crew network core with a middleware layer comprising an orchestrator configured to send application containers to a number of cabin and crew network smart members to perform the onboard analytics; and the number of cabin and crew network smart members each having a respective edge member daemon, each edge member daemon configured to place a respective cabin and crew network smart member in a joined state with the middleware layer and release resources of the respective cabin and crew network smart member when it leaves a joined state and enters a busy state so that the edge member daemon does not interfere with a primary function of the respective cabin and crew network smart member.
