SDCI - NMI- NEW: Observatory Middleware Framework

美国国家科学基金会网络基础设施软件开发（SDCI）项目网络基础设施办公室提案号：0721617首席研究员：Randal L. butler机构：伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校提案标题：SDCI NMI NEW：国家超级计算应用中心、斯克里普斯研究所（Scripps Research Institute）和蒙特利湾水族馆研究所（Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute）的一组研究人员认为，需要改进传感器/仪器、数据流和数据处理的管理。这项工作是一个通用的天文台中间件框架，用于集成现有的和建议的天文台管理技术，并减少跨天文台的功能重复。设想的框架支持来自多个观测站的数据流的联合，创建对公共仪器访问和管理的支持，并提供执行策略的基本机制。原型天文台中间件框架将突出容易集成和配置仪器的能力，并将数据流集成到一个不受资源实现影响的定制天文台中。该解决方案基于企业服务总线（ESB）体系结构。

National Science FoundationNSF Software Development for Cyberinfrastructure (SDCI) ProgramOffice of CyberinfrastructureProposal Number: 0721617Principal Investigator: Randal L. ButlerInstitution: University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignProposal Title: SDCI NMI NEW: Observatory Middleware Framework Abstract A team of researchers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the Scripps Research Institute (Scripps), and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, see a need for improved management of sensors/instruments, data streams, and data processing. This work is a generalized Observatory Middleware Framework to integrate existing and proposed observatory management technologies, and reduce duplication of functionality across observatories. The envisioned framework supports the federation of data streams from multiple observatories, creates support for a common instrument access and management, and provides fundamental mechanisms to enforce policies. The prototype Observatory Middleware Framework will highlight the ability to readily integrate and configure instruments, and data streams into a customized observatory with an indifference to resource implementations. The solution is based around the enterprise service bus (ESB) architecture.
