Abstract
In the Envimon project we are building prototype information systems for
diverse real-world environment monitoring applications. The applications are
built onto a common software framework, which will be designed and implemented
in the project. The framework can be used for developing diverse applications
in a straightforward and cost-efficient way. It enables employing diverse
data sources, pre-processing, analyzing and preparing the data into proper
products, and delivering them at the right time, in the right form and via the
appropriate channel to different end users that use diverse terminal
equipment. The core of the framework consists of workflow management. A
workflow description written in a workflow language represents the data
process used in an application, and the workflow engine manages the execution
of the process. The workflow tasks are implemented as web services, and the
framework architecture utilizes XML-based standards like WSDL (Web Service
Description Language) and BPEL (Business Process Execution Language). The
feasibility of the concept introduced by the software framework is verified by
implementing several environment monitoring systems for the real-world
applications in the areas of disaster monitoring, forestry, forest fire,
maritime, traffic monitoring, disposal site monitoring, and season monitoring
for tourism. (10 refs.)
