.

Current and Near Future AQ Information System of Systems

..Current Situation

Few users; limited, sporadic data/model; poor integration; Dedicated 'Stove Pipe' Systems -> Stiff and limited decision support

..Near Furure

Diverse users, More sensory/model data-GEOSS; Extensive integration and 'mashing'-Web 2.0; Network effect ->Responsive decisin support

..Paper purpose and outline

Community assessment of AQ IT; User feedback to GEOSS Architecture; Aid to agency planners

AQ Data System Architectures

..User-Driven: User Drives Design

..Distributed: Structure over Dimensions

..Loosely Couppled: Software Components, System of Systems, Architcture of Participation

Information Technologies

..Software Components: Data as Service, Web Services

..Interoperability Technologies: Standards/Conventions, Wrappers and Adopters

..Web 2.0 Technologies: Searching, Tagging

Challenges

..Human Factors

The 4 C's: Communication, Cooperation, Coordination, Coopetition
Attracting user participation

..Architecture

Maximize the 'Network Effect'....

..Technologies

Grasping and harnessing Web 2.0

Prototype Agile AQ Application Examples

..FASTNET

Fast Aersosol Sensing

..AQ Event Analysis

Exceptional Events Analysi for Regulatory Decision Making

..CATT

Combined Aerosol and Trajectory Tool

..GSN Demo

So? Next Steps?
