A grid portal for solving geoscience problems using distributed knowledge discovery services

This paper describes our research effort to employ Grid technologies to enable the development of geoscience applications by integrating workflow technologies with data mining resources and a portal framework in unique work environment called MOS`E. Using MOS`E, a user can easily compose and execute geo-workflows for analyzing and managing natural disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, wildfires, etc.. MOS`E is designed to be applicable both for the implementation of responses strategies when emergencies occur and for disaster prevention. It takes advantage of the standardized resource access and workflow support for loosely coupled software components provided by web/grid services technologies. The integration of workflows with data mining services significantly improves data analysis. Geospatial data management and mining are critical areas of modern-day geosciences research. An important challenge for geospatial information mining is the distributed nature of th...
