Adaptive network for notam prioritization

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a computer processor, a plurality of notices to airmen (NOTAMs);
• assigning corresponding ones of NOTAMs in the plurality of NOTAMs to corresponding classes to form a plurality of classes;
• arranging the plurality of classes into a data structure comprising a network, wherein arranging the plurality of classes comprises:
• arranging the plurality of classes as a plurality of nodes;
• forming a plurality of links by connecting ones of nodes in the plurality of nodes to at least one other node in the network via at least one link;
• determining corresponding mathematical degrees of relevance between pairs of linked nodes among the plurality of nodes;
• assigning the corresponding mathematical degrees of relevance to corresponding links between ones of the pairs of linked nodes;
• arranging the plurality of links to point from a corresponding less relevant node to a corresponding more relevant node with respect to the pairs of linked nodes, and
• ranking the plurality of nodes in a prioritized order according to the mathematical degrees of relevance.

A system for organizing notices to airmen (NOTAMs), the system comprising:

• a computer processor;
• a data repository in communication with the computer processor, wherein the data repository stores:
• a plurality of NOTAMs,
• a network comprising a plurality of nodes comprising a plurality of classes to which are assigned the plurality of NOTAMs,
• a plurality of links linking the plurality of nodes, wherein ones of the plurality of links connect at least two nodes of the plurality of nodes,
• a plurality of mathematical degrees of relevance assigned to ones of the plurality of links, and
• a ranking that establishes the plurality of nodes in a prioritized order according to the mathematical degrees of relevance;
• a data structure construction engine executable by the computer processor and configured to:
• assign the plurality of NOTAMs to the plurality of classes;
• arrange the plurality of nodes into the network;
• determine the mathematical degrees of relevance;
• assign the plurality of links to corresponding ones of the plurality of nodes such that corresponding ones of the plurality of links point from a corresponding less relevant node to a corresponding more relevant node with respect to any two selected linked nodes in the plurality of nodes;
• and
• rank the plurality of nodes into the ranking;
• a NOTAM presentation engine executable by the computer processor and configured to:
• receive a request to display the plurality of NOTAMs on a display device;
• retrieve the plurality of NOTAMs associated with the plurality of nodes in the prioritized order;
• and
• command the plurality of NOTAMS to be displayed on the display device in the prioritized order;
• and
• the display device for displaying the plurality of NOTAMS according to the ranking.
