BARENTSWATCH - A SOA-BASED SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PORTAL FOR NORWEGIAN WATERS

摘要

There is a vast amount of information gathered on the oceans and coastal areas both in real time and in historical archives. However, this information is scattered between several governmental and institutional bodies. The individual pieces of information are typically tailored for a large number of different, non-cooperating legacy systems. This makes it hard to gather a complete multi-dimensional recognized picture of the area, whether the application domain is safety at sea, resource management, risk management or environmental monitoring. Kongsberg Spacetec AS was awarded the contract to develop and implement a harmonized, multi-discipline information portal for the Norwegian Government. The project "BarentsWatch" is a SOA-based Intelligent GIS, and its design was presented during ACRS2011. The first phase of this development, the Barents Watch Open, is now completed through acceptance testing, and the system is starting to be populated with data from the service providers. The project involves many stake holders and complex development, resulting in many challenges that have all been solved. This presentation will give an overview of the project's management and technical lessons learnt up to now, as well as an introduction to the follow-on phase of the project. Furthermore we will demonstrate how the experience and technical solutions from this project can be utilized in other similar applications.
