Summary
A description of the key, central objectives of the proposal in terms understandable to a nonspecialist;
A concise statement of the methods/techniques proposed to accomplish the stated research objectives; and
- Fan-in/Fan-out Architecture
- Service Oriented Architecture
- Application to primary and reused in secondary DSS's
A statement of the perceived significance of the proposed work to the objectives of the solicitation and to NASA interests and programs in general.
- Better air quality management decisions
- Wider distribution of NASA products
- Demonstration of GEOSS concept
Architecture
The design philosophy is of fan in-fan out. Any data is applicable to multiple benefit areas. Any benefit area needs multiple data.
Primary Decision-Support Systems
- DataFed - Husar - Exceptional Events. Fan in: 50 States -> 10 EPA Regions -> 1 Federal EPA. Each transmits different pieces of information and we need to determine those pieces.
Exceptional Events are distributed in space, need a wide variety of data and include a variety of people therefore they are good candidates for the modern decision-support systems. Because fan in - fan out data flow architecture is so broad it can help other decision support application areas.
Other Decision-Support Systems
Same fan in - fan out data flow architecture can be used for different decision-support systems.
- VIEWS - Brett/Shawn - Regional Haze
- BlueSky - Sean - Smoke
- BAMS - McHenry - Air Quality Forecasting for the public
- HTAP - Keating - Hemispheric Transport Policy
