Abstract
This paper discusses the design and prototype implementation of a software solution facilitating the interaction of third-party developers with a legacy monitoring and control system in the airfield environment. By following the Internet of Things (IoT) approach and adopting open standards and paradigms such as REpresentational State Transfer (REST) and Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) for message dispatching, the work aims at paving the way towards a more open world in the airfield industrial sector. The paper also presents performance results achieved by extending legacy components to support IoT standards. Quantitative results not only demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution, but also its suitability in terms of prompt message dispatching and increased fault tolerance.

The ever-increasing demand for easier integration with third-party software solutions has imposed a new approach for developing airport ALCMS solutions
This paper demonstrates how imposed a new approach for developing airport ALCMS solutions
Summary
Traditional monitoring and control systems have been characterized by closed and proprietary solutions designed and developed from scratch by enterprises. The lack of established and widely recognized standards supporting the interaction with devices have led to a push for a plethora of heterogeneous and highly tailored solutions addressing the issues of specific environments [1]. This approach has provided some notable advantages. Enterprises have full control of the developed system and the adopted protocols, since they are based on code and specifications designed and written with limited (or no) adoption of external software libraries and standards. Enterprises have the perception that they have a more secure solution, since only internal developers know its source code and potential attackers cannot exploit the known bugs of libraries and third-party services
