Service-oriented tsunami wave propagation modeling tools

Abstract

A big variety of methods and services for Tsunami Modeling require developing special approaches supporting integration of these heterogeneous components with respect to the various development platforms and architectures. In this paper, we are considering a way of transforming the Tsunami Wave Propagation Modeling Software to a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The transformation was implemented based on the original Virtual MVC-design pattern (VMVC-pattern) that is demarcating a Functional (View) and an Implementation (Model) task by inducing an Integrator (Controller). The paper describes basic features of the MOST (Method of Splitting Tsunami) software package that was used as an initial Propagation Software Engine. It also includes an analysis the initial and output tsunami data and the description of a VMVC-based prototype in which control and resource management operations can be implemented via WEB-interface.
