Research on Key Issues about Seafloor Observatory Network

Abstract

Developing the seafloor observatory network is very significant for the human to explore the ocean resources. And the network's software architecture decides the quality of the service of the whole system. As an advanced and mature technology, SOA(Service Oriented Architecture) is widely applied to enterprise integration, but how to make it apply to the design of seafloor observatory network still exists many obfuscations. Considering its distinctive features, we design a prototype system for seafloor observatory network based on SOA in our last paper. Many key problems of the support and implementation of SOA for seafloor observatory network are discussed in this paper. The solutions of which will play an important role in the practice of the SOA for seafloor observatory network.
