The Collaborative Sun-Earth Connector
Abstract
The Collaborative Sun-Earth Connector fuses data from a variety of instruments, including images, spectra and in situ measurements, to unveil the essential elements of space weather. We demonstrate a prototype system for such coordinated, distributed data analysis based upon software agent technologies and SolarSoft (Freeland and Handy 1998). Researchers use the system to develop process maps which merge distributed data archives and servers into a virtual data analysis system. Sophisticated image and time-series processing can be coordinated between data centers while minimizing the amount of data transferred between them and optimizing the delivery of pertinent and refined data to the requestor. We describe how CoSEC relates to and can leverage related efforts from the Virtual Solar Observatory and the European Grid of Solar Observatories and examine how it can transition to a comprehensive data analysis system for upcoming LWS and SEC missions.
