An integration platform for heterogeneous sensor systems in GITEWS – Tsunami Service Bus 1Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ, Center for GeoInformation Technology (CeGIT), 14473 Potsdam, Germany 2SpaceTech GmbH (STI), Seelbachstraße 13, 88090 Immenstaad, Germany 3Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering ISST, Berlin Branch, Steinplatz 2, 10623 Berlin, Germany |  |
The foundation for a flexible integration and for stable interfaces is a result of following the paradigm of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The Tsunami Service Bus (TSB) – our integration platform in GITEWS – realizes this SOA approach by implementing the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards and services.
This paper focuses on architectural and implementation aspects of the TSB. Initially, the general architectural approach in GITEWS by SOA and SWE is presented. Based on this conception, the concrete system architecture of GITEWS is introduced. The sensor integration platform TSB is then discussed in detail, following by its primary responsibilities and components. Special emphasis is laid on architectural transparency, comprehensible design decisions, and references to the applied technology.
