Observatory Middleware Framework

This project will build a working prototype of an Observatory Middleware Framework, designed and implemented to scale to a national level and interoperate with other large environmental observatories, for the immediate needs of the ocean research community and the use of all earth observatories. Our prototype will integrate a large collection of existing middleware, sensor infrastructures, and software technologies in novel ways to produce a usable research environment that can be utilized by the driving environmental research applications in oceanography, ecology, and environmental engineering. It will provide a new framework and techniques to access and process both raw and derived data streams from multiple observatories independent of their specific technological implementation.

We focus our work on two areas, firstly the evaluation of the ESB technology for the federation of instruments deployed within different observatories, and secondly to design and develop crosscutting/ubiquitous observatory functionalities including governance and policy enforcement. At the conclusion of the project we plan to demonstrate simple command and control of instruments such as turning an instrument on and off, managed both natively and by SIAM as our primary goal, and through the unfunded assistance by Scripps still plan to demonstrate instrument command and control integration with Roadnet.

For more information, see the OMF Page on the NCSA Security site.

This project is expected to run from October 2007 to September 2010, with most work being completed in the first year.

Project Participants: NCSA, MBARI, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
