External Components

Providers• RESCUE Traffic Reporting System• RESCUE Tracked Objects System• High Performance Wireless Research

and Education Network (HPWren) Cameras

• UC San Diego Police Surveillance Cameras

Consumers• Browser-based AJAX application

• Multiple feed selection• Google Maps-based data integration• Filters on each feed• Time-based animation

• Microsoft Office (ODBC) (future) • Google Earth (future)• Yahoo Pipes (future)

Internal Components

Java-based Enterprise Service Bus

• Standards-based message passing• Open source database services• Inversion of Control executes

storage/retrieval POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) on demand

• Message routing interleaves POJO execution with interceptors providing crosscutting services (authorization, authentication, logging, etc)

Rich Services Architecture

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

• Based on composite pattern (i.e., system-of-systems), messaging pattern, routing pattern, and role-based interactions

• Producers = adapters and COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) services

• Consumers = adapters to standardized communication protocols

• Crosscutting concerns = interceptor services (Aspect Oriented Programming-style)

Features

• Captures experimenter data for query-based real-time and archival analysis and synthesis

• Rapid incorporation of emergent data sources at low risk to existing users

• Easy integration with new clients• Scales easily to high usage while

maintaining high performance• Enables fine-grained policy definition

and evaluation• Seamless incorporation of novel

intermediary services• Future improvements

• Stream-based data delivery• Video and audio capture/replay• ODBC and Google Earth

interface• Improved authorization,

authentication, policy, and accounting features
