Abstract—Geospatial web services within a Spatial Data Infrastructure framework enable discovery of, and access to, geospatial information and services as well as data visualization. Earth Observation data-based applications pose a challenge for these infrastructures due to their consumption

We present here the Cloud Platform Operations conducted by Terradue for serving Earth Sciences practitioners in deploying scalable data processing applications, and for helping them make extensive use of Earth observations (EO) data. The associated business model is based on several enablers

observation technologies, data warehousing, high-performance visualization displays, grids, and disaster prevention technology to establish a near real-time high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) disaster prevention earth observation application platform for Taiwan. The main functions of this platform include

The international community agrees that the new technology based on the use of Unmanned Air Vehicles High Altitude Very long Endurance (UAV-HAVE) could play an important role for the development of remote sensing and telecommunication applications. A UAV-HAVE vehicle can be described as a low

Approving the new federal low about geo-information (RS 510.62), the Switzerland gave a great impulse to the establishment of a national spatial data infrastructure, which in agreement with the EU directive INSPIRE (2007/2/CE), shall be based on geo-services. This approach gives to data maintainers

UrbanWeb is a novel Web-based context-aware hypermedia platform. It provides essential mechanisms for mobile social computing applications: the framework implements context as an extension to Web 2.0 tagging and provides developers with an easy to use platform for mobile context-aware applications

to be managed in an equally adaptive and predictable way. To address this need, we introduce a novel, tool-supported framework for the development of adaptive servicebased systems called QoSMOS (QoS Management and Optimization of Service-based systems). QoSMOS can be used to develop service-based systems

Citizen science is a promising way to increase temporal and spatial coverages of in-situ data, and to aid in data processing and analysis. In this paper, we present how citizen science can be used together with Earth observation, and demonstrate its value through three pilot projects focusing

with the Canadian Space Agency, is using space-based earth observation (EO) technologies to create products for forest inventory, forest carbon accounting, monitoring sustainable development, and landscape management. The Earth Observation for Sustainable Development of Forests (EOSD) initiative will work

of both the player population and the player interactions. We evaluate several algorithms, including a novel neural network predictor, for predicting the resource demand. Using trace-based simulation, we evaluate the impact of the data center policies on the resource provisioning efficiency; we show
