AHM08/RS5: Regular Session 5

Jeremy Cohen: An e-Science Platform for on-demand management and processing of environmental data

based on the Message - Mobile Environmental Sensing System Across Grid Environments

sensors connected by bluetooth, wifi & 3g

100,000s of sensors imply highly variable rates of data aquisition .. using amazon elastic cloud commodity computing to cope with the varying load.

on-demand modelling ..

.. requires on-demand computing .. ogsa-dai, ogsa-dqp and ec2

.. on-demand being driven by both back end data availability and front end user request

Nathan Cummngham: Optimising Antarctic research cruises


"Big Data" Nature

"Growing your data" Lynch 2008, Nature 455:7209

planning is influenced by real time ice information, realtime pengiun tracks - showing where polar fron is, real time chlorophile imaging etc

delivery is over 128k sat link to research ship.

Jim Myers: A Digital Synthesis Framework for Virtual Observatories


Context
.. Ocean Observatories Initiative
.. National Ecological Obs Net
.. WATERS Net

want 3d immersive equivalent to goingthere but augmented by data richness

even though there is general initial user agreement of the concept, in fact great deal of variation in specifics

as soon as you read about it you should be able to action it via workflow.

Digital Synthesis Framework .. data playground

Semantic Content Management
Streaming Data Management
CyberCollaboration Portal
Cyberintegrator.
Content Repositories
.. all stored in RDF

Restful, using restlets

front end widgets uses google toolkit
interwidget interactions

Dynamic Analysis Environment

eg Corpus Christi Bay Dashboard

Community Annotation.
