Objective
Success of the European initiative hinges on the existence of a suitable architecture for services, information and communication fluxes. Objectives of TEASE study is to develop such an European-scale architecture:
- innovative and optimally designed for operational environment, risks and security management, with an optimised use of state-of-the-art information technologies;
- featuring a high capability to inter-operate pre-existing parts of various types: data, services, actors originally not designed to interface to each other;
- integrating organisational aspects and favouring market opportunities.
A development plan will target a quick and reliable implementation of GMES network, starting by a pilot-project.
Collaboration of top level European Environmental users agencies and validation by workshops will ensure a high relevance of the study results and very strong benefits for the European Community.
Objectives:
GMES missions require to develop dedicated and closely networked operational services, relying on a suitable architecture for information and communication fluxes.
TEASE objectives are:
- to analyse and synthesise various users information technology needs (services content, access) and other constraints (organisational, economic)
- to select and model existing bricks from which to build;
- to study possible architectures for the GMES information and services network, both on technical (functional, physical, operational), economic and organisational aspects, and characterise and evaluate those technologies components that are key and critical. While initially focusing on selected applications, a generic architecture will be extrapolated for environment, risks and security management;
- provide directions and recommendations for short- and mid-terms follow-on phases, e.g. a proposal for a focused pilot-project, and a draft overall development plan starting with.
Work description:
The study is organised in two phases.
Phase 1 aims at collecting, analysing and validating inputs to be used for phase 2 of the study:
- analysis of needs relative to selected applications within GMES missions areas (environment, risks management, security). While thematic aspects of user-oriented needs should fully re-use results of EUFOREO project (IST 2001), other user-oriented aspects (how to access data and services) as well as non-user constraints (organisational, commercial, legal) will be studied in depth. These needs will be captured and formalised through Use Cases analysis, and extended to generic applications of GMES;
- selection and description of relevant existing bricks (information networks) from which to build the future GMES services and information network;
- synthesis of above results, confrontation versus existing parts, and validation of the whole by a board of actors (users, institutional bodies) through an "Information technology needs validation workshop";
Phase 2 aims at starting the definition of an architectural concept for a GMES information & services network, and at drafting a development plan, according to following steps:
- exploration of potential architectures against identified needs, initially on specific selected applications, then extended to generic concept;
- identification and integration of critical technologies and components, key factor for successfully implement the GMES information & services network;
- synthesise of above results and validation by a board of actors through an "Architecture validation workshop"
- definition of short- and mid-term development plan, with proposal of an application specific pilot-project.
Milestones:
Two milestones are foreseen to allow a board of actors (users, institutional bodies) to validate the results through two workshops (WS):
- WS1: validation of the user needs and of selected existing bricks from which to build the GMES network (services, competencies, actors);
- WS2: validation of the GMES network architecture concept.
The results consist in a concept definition of this architecture, and in a short- and mid-term development plan, with proposal for a pilot-project.
