Presented at a joint ACSys/DSTO Workshop at DSTO Fernhill, in Canberra on the 25th August 1997.

Abstract

The On-line Data Archives (OLDA) Program is managed by the Advanced Computational Systems (ACSys) Cooperative Research Centre (CRC). Projects are funded by both ACSys and by the Research Data Networks CRC. This talk presents an overview of recent OLDA projects in applying and demonstrating distributed and high-performance computing (DHPC) technology. Current projects focus on earth observation applications, geographic and image data archives, as well as software infrastructure development for providing access to data and processing capabilities on-demand. Some key issues in the design of a DHPC software infrastructure for image archive based applications are discussed. These issues include integration of legacy applications and supercomputer systems. Participating organisations in OLDA include: the Soil and Land Management CRC, CSIRO, Agrecon, Flinders University, Adelaide University, ANU, Sydney VisLab, and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
