INTAS-CNES-NSAU projectINTAS-CNES-NSAU project

• INTAS-CNES-NSAU grant is submitted and under review (good results of first stage evaluation by INTAS experts)

– Title: “Data Fusion Grid Infrastructure”– Main goal: to develop data fusion methods for satellite data processing

and to implement them in Grid Infrastructure that could be considered as one of WAG prototypes

– Partners:– CNES (Poul Kopp)– Institute of Informatics, Slovak Academy of Sciences– Space Research Institute of NASU-NSAU (Ukraine)– Space Research Institute of RAN (Russia)

ESA Category-1 projectESA Category-1 project

• ESA Category-1 grant is under preparation– Draft Title: “Wide Area Grid Testbed for Flood Monitoring using

Spaceborne SAR and Optical Data”– Goal: to develop WAG testbed suitable for

real-world data fusion tasks

• Partners:– CNES– ESA– Space Research Institute of NASU-NSAU (Ukraine)– RSGS (Remote sensing satellite ground station of China)– Institute of Informatics of Slovak Academy of Science

Ukraine: New TaskUkraine: New Task

• A new task have been arised: to provide serviceas a basis for water resources ecological management

• SeaDAS project (http://seadas.gsfc.nasa.gov/)is de-facto standard for water-domain satellite data processing

• Validation of results will be performed on thebasis of Ukrainian Gidrobiological Station(Kherson).

Technical issuesTechnical issues

• SeaDAS is “legacy” code:– No client-server interface– A set of executables– Thanks God, there are scripting possibility

• To integrate it with Grid infrastructure GEMLCA (http://www.cpc.wmin.ac.uk/gemlca/) adapter seems to be most appropriate solution:– Wraps legacy code into Grid-service deployable into

Globus container– Allows integration with P-GRADE portal
