Requirements

• Detect faulty sensors via realtime alerts
• Enable adaptive measurements in the face of changing experimental conditions
• Seamlessly connect sensors and instruments into EarthCube
• Conduct an analysis of streaming data
• Couple real-time data streams with workflows and models
• Inexpensive, easy to maintain
• Be easily configured, deployed and accessed by small geosciences research teams from a diverse array of sensor systems.
  • configured via a web interface
  • configurable structured database • Be free, open source and easily deployable on cloud infrastructure. • Use transactions built on RESTful protocols (i.e. via URLs) for data ingest and retrieval. • Connect to existing and developing EarthCube Building Blocks, community archives, registries and complex scientific workflows as driven by research needs. • Employ data and metadata formats that adhere to standards, to simplify the user experience and leverage broader use of the observations.
