SANY Sensors Anywhere

The Georeferenced Timeseries Viewer (GTV) is a generic desktop application and a toolbox for building specialized applications capable of presenting a common and combined view on time series data stemming from different sources, such as sensors, simulation models or data fusion outputs.

The GTV is implemented in Java on a richt client platform. It is an expert tool for the daily work of decision makers mainly in environmental authorities. The GTV is used as the basis for the ‘Data inspection client’ in Air Quality Monitoring (SP4) Pilot, and the design strongly reflects the requirements inherent to the air quality monitoring domain. Nevertheless, the GTV can be easily adopted to the needs of other environmental domains. The main design goals of GTV were:

• to develop an expert tool capable of accessing and visualization of all data used within the SANY project;
  
• to assure the GTV provides efficient and reliable support for domain
  experts inspecting large amounts of data.

• to assure the GTV is easily extendible in order to answer the future user
  requests for additional functionality

The main GTV components are a set of connectors to remote systems and a set of viewer windows, which can be combined and configured in a flexible way. Both, connectors and viewers can be easily added at runtime without the need to recompile or reconfigure the application.
