Time-series data server optimized for multichannel and real-time processing

Since there are a considerable number of earthquakes and active volcanoes in Japan, it is important to install high-accuracy seismic monitoring equipment and to develop systems that can process observed data efficiently. In the field of seismic data processing, specific requirements such as multichannel and on-demand/real-time processing are essential, whereas they are not so significant in other time-series data. Since conventional systems cannot fulfill Such requisites, a client/server system is newly developed. It provides a unified Solution for delivering the seismic data to the client side, whether it is used for real-time monitoring or for on-demand printing. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
