Partners: –

Period: 29 November 2013 – 29 November 2016

Project director: Prof.dr.ing. Dorian Gorgan

Project team: 44 PM

8 researchers,  4 PhD students, 1 MSc student

Description:

• Explore techniques and methodologies to develop and execute analytics on Big Earth Data
• Provide flexible and interactive description of HPC processing (High Performance Computing)

Focus on:

• Access data, knowledge, and information
• User’s access to simple and complex processing algorithms
• Processing scheduling
• Execution performance
• High performance platforms: 
• Grid
• Cloud
• Multicore
• Cluster
• Interoperability based on 
• OGC standard services

Project objectives:

• Flexible description of processing for knowledge extraction from big Earth Observation (EO) data
• HPC oriented solutions for adaptive and portable processing of EO analytics
• EO data processing interoperability based on OGC standard services
• EO oriented development methodologies based on flexible and adaptive complex processing
• Use case development and experimental validation for representative EO use cases
