Data processing procedures are bloged: http://emLab2005.blogspirit.com

Presentation of the stage of information system for global environmental monitoring (UHMR).
This server is: Independent (no budget for anything) Low cost: not special hardware and software Mobile: on virtual drives, and external HDD can be started from different locations (3 for the now) Can collect data, even with slow dial-up connection and successfully finish the work (resending need more speed). Resending is trough: mail service, ftp, http, GSM (as a test).

Presentation of the stage of information system for global environmental monitoring (UHMR).
Min. configuration: 1 PC P4 2.6- 3.0 GHz / RAM 256 512 Mb.; Plus 1 or 2 PCs for 3D and numerical modeling in the future; Operating system: WindowsXP (Home or Pro) Applications: one application manager is developed to control work of more then 75 called application No special requirements for graphics and animation.

Presentation of the stage of information system for global environmental monitoring (UHMR).
Everyday score: Products: 750 files / 360 Mb / 85 min. of work Temporary 5 day data: 500 files (230 TXTs and 270 PICs) Applications: one application manager is developed to control work of more then 75 called application (scheduled in 85 minutes) 3D graphics and 3D animation started with old fashion raytracers.

Presentation of the stage of information system for global environmental monitoring (UHMR).
Evident progress: Application management (scheduling of apps) OS administration and backup Data retrieving procedures 3D graphical outputs 3D animation products GSM connection procedures (send SMS procedure pass test from connected GSM device)

Presentation of the stage of information system for global environmental monitoring (UHMR).
Evident weakness: Everyday backup is not reliable procedure if the place of start is changed; Even that the server is developed as a file system more then 5 MS Access databases are in use, mainly to achieve the MS SQL jet engine as data retrieving method Slow progress to Linux environment and adoption of numerical model as a part of the system

If some event is detected related object can change the form, color, appear or live the 3D space!

Choosing raytracing as a main 3D graphics and animations technique, great control is achieved over the space, lights and objects. Now, they are context sensitive (UHMR).

The future plans Own numerical model for prediction of weather and environmental conditions in region of interest.
- Online storage of important data in last ndays - More activity on marketing plan and targeted groups. - Keep this idea as a Live Environmental Server (LES), in this region of the world.
