SENSYF EXPERIENCE ON INTEGRATION OF EO SERVICES IN A GENERIC, CLOUD-BASED EO EXPLOITATION PLATFORM

摘要

SenSyF is a cloud-based data processing framework for EO-based services. It has been pioneer in addressing Big Data issues from the Earth Observation point of view, and is a precursor of several of the technologies and methodologies that will be deployed in ESA's Thematic Exploitation Platforms and other related systems. The SenSyF system focuses on developing fully automated data management, together with access to a processing and exploitation framework, including Earth Observation specific tools. SenSyF is both a development and validation platform for data intensive applications using Earth Observation data. With SenSyF, scientific, institutional or commercial institutions developing EO-based applications and services can take advantage of distributed computational and storage resources, tailored for applications dependent on big Earth Observation data, and without resorting to deep infrastructure and technological investments. This paper describes the integration process and the experience gathered from different EO Service providers during the project.
