Speaker:
Tom Jackson, Grid Project Officer, University of York.
The DAME (Distributed Aircraft Maintenance Environment) project developed a proof-of-concept Grid demonstrator for distributed aerospace engine monitoring applications. The technologies developed within DAME are now being rolled out on a full-scale industrial trial within the BROADEN project, led by Rolls-Royce. A service-based solution has been developed that is implemented within the Globus Grid framework, which provides a generic middleware capability for remote data analysis. We describe the deployment architecture and its application to the industrial aero-engine domain through the BROADEN project. A central challenge in the work is the ability to provide a flexible platform where data intensive services may be added with little overhead from existing tool and service vendors. We describe the development issues surrounding this and explain how the project is investigating the PMC method (Pattern Match Controller, initially developed in DAME) and the use of Enterprise Service Bus to over come the problems. The mapping of the generic architecture to the BROADEN application (visualisation tools and distributed data and services) is described together with future work.
