As part of the ACM womENcourage 2017 event our PhD Student Teodora Selea presented a poster outlining her work in developing programable and scallable Remote Sensing processing software. Teodora leveraged the already existing experience inside our group in the area of GRID Computing and High Throughput Computing in order to propose a new backend for standards compliant OGC processing service.

The work is based in the ongoing ESA Pathfinder EO4SEE Project.

Reading from the abstract:

The area of GIS (Geographical Information System) witnessed in recent decades an fast growing number of geospatial processing and information retrieval algorithms and tools. This growth created the need for a standardized mechanism for controlling geospatial processing services, resulting in the Web Processing Sevices (WPS) standard. In this paper we propose a novel WPS implementation running on top of the HTCondor[2] workload manager.

Teodora’s presentation is available on the ACM womENcourage 2017 Website.
