Context

Needs
–
–

New technological instruments
–
–

Grid technologies have been developed to allow Virtual
Organizations (such as Civil Protection) to share coordinated
resources
Recent Geospatial Science development provides the basis for
Geographic Information interoperability
Challenge
–
5
Civil Protection emergency management (forecasting, warning,
management, assessment) involves different actors (Civil
Protection systems, public bodies, research centers, etc.)
They need to share resources (computing, data, services,
knowledge, expertise, etc) in a coordinated and effective way
To develop geospatial services on the top of a Grid-based
infrastructure, building a cooperative platform for Civil Protection
applications
[email protected]
Rationale

Current Grid platforms were mainly
designed for intensive processing and data
management
–

Grid research is facing new important
issues
–
–
–

6
offer high computing and storage capabilities
sensor interaction
knowledge management
communication quality of service
Need an enhancement to support complex
Civil Protection applications
[email protected]
Rationale

Civil Protection applications/systems have specific
requirements:
–
to access infrastructure, run models and search
information in real-time (RT) or near-real-time (NRT)

–
–
to control sensors networks and acquisition systems and
modify their acquisition strategy and processing chain
to share geospatial information that has complex
characteristics:

–
–
7
privileging time of response instead of accuracy
Huge amounts of remotely-sensed observations, which are
multidimensional and frequently updated
To formalise the knowledge required to analyse data and
provide decision-makers with effective information
To implement the strict data policy and the security
requirements typical of dual systems (civil/military)

This reference architecture is the essential
framework to guide CYCLOPS studies and
analyses
As a Specific Support Action, CYCLOPS
will not develop the infrastructure
