The fielding and commissioning of Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) has catapulted the National Weather Service (NWS) into a new era of data integration and computational capability. Local applications developed by Weather Forecast Office (WFO), River Forecast Center (RFC), and National Center (NC) personnel enable offices to satisfy unique user requirements and improve efficiency of local operations.
This site is intended to serve as an information focal point for
all AWIPS local application related activities. This site allows
the user to register local applications; view an inventory of local
applications, post and respond to user questions, and report and
respond to local application software deficiencies and view a wide
assortment of policies statements (AWIPS Local Application Policy),
standards and guidelines (AWIPS Integrated Framework Manual) and the
activities of the Local Applications Working Group.

| AIFM | The AWIPS Application Integration
Framework Manual
(AIFM) is intended to assist both field and headquarters personnel
in using the AWIPS environment to develop and implement
hydrometeorological applications. The AIFM contains
standards and guidelines for development environments, coding and
documentation, data management and access, initiation, and
product dissemination. The AIFM will be updated as often
as warranted. Last Updated: (07/19/00) |
| Policy | The AWIPS Local Application Policy
establishes a
standardized approach for the development, testing, implementation,
maintenance, and configuration management of AWIPS locally-developed
applications. It describes local, regional, and headquarters
responsibilities and defines or references procedures,
guidelines, and standards for developing, implementing, and
supporting local applications. Last Updated: (09/08/00) |
| Implementation Plan | The AWIPS Local Application Implementation
Plan addresses the implementation of several key site and regional
requirements found in the AWIPS Local Application Policy (LAP).
To implement these requirements, the LAWG has established procedures to
(1) submit and register the use of local applications and achieve
compliance with the local application policy, standards and guidelines;
and (2) obtain waivers to the local application policy, standards and
guidelines in a timely manner.

| LAWG | The Local Applications Working Group (LAWG)
was formed to serve as a forum for information exchange among
member organizations and will oversee and make recommendations
concerning all aspects of AWIPS local software development,
approval, dissemination, management, and support. Information
contained here includes meeting schedules, LAWG activities, and
outstanding LAWG action items.

| Listserver | This LISTSERVER facilitates the distribution of information regarding AWIPS Local Applications. It should be easy for persons involved with local applications to broadcast new developments, important changes, ask questions or seek assistance. All you have to do is send an email message, and that message will be routed to all interested subscribers. |
