Abstract— In this paper, we present a novel and comprehensive resource management solution for the autonomous hot-spot convergence system (AHSCS) that uses sensor web. This solution is in response to a call for solution at the WPDRTS 2002. The proposed solution involves system analysis and design and developing a new resource management methodology, which we call Feedback-based Adaptive Resource Management (FARM). The FARM methodology combines the advantages of feedback control scheduling, path-based scheduling, value-based scheduling, and survivability strategies to provide dependable (predictable, reliable, and secure) services to the AHSCS. I. PROBLEM STATEMENT Processing, archiving, accessing, visualizing and communicating Earth Science data from space and ground-based sensors to the research community presents many challenging problems in distributed, real-time computing. The problem seeking solutions that will be presented at the special session of the 2002 Workshop on Parallel...
