SMIP-WPS: An Scientific Model Integration Platform Using Web Processing Service

Abstract

With the rapid growth of data in various domains, models for data processing become more and more complicated and require higher and higher computing power of local machines. In our opinion, it is a good solution to put models into the "cloud". Integrating and categorizing these models in different domains is convenient for users. They don't have to establish similar systems for different models in different domains. This paper demonstrates how we employ the Web Processing Service in the Open Geospatial Consortium as a service engine to establish a scientific model integration platform to handle requests and responses. And a study case that integrates some geospatial models based on the platform is presented at last.
