Gribova V., Kharitonov D. Information and Computing Ecosystem’s Architecture for Monitoring and Forecasting Natural Disasters // Computers. 2024. Vol. 13, № 12. art. 334. https://doi.org/10.3390/computers13120334.
Monitoring natural phenomena using a variety of methods to predict disasters is a trend that is growing over time. However, there is a great disunity among methods and means of data analysis, formats and interfaces of storing and providing data, and software and information systems for data processing. As part of a large project to create a planetary observatory that combines data from spatially distributed geosphere monitoring systems, the efforts of leading institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences are also aimed at creating an information and computing ecosystem to unite researchers processing and analyzing the data obtained. This article provides a brief overview of the current state of publications on information ecosystems in various applied fields, and it also proposes a concept for an ecosystem on a multiagent basis with unique technical features. The concept of the ecosystem includes the following: the ability to function in a heterogeneous environment on federal principles, the parallelization of data processing between agents using Petri nets as a mechanism ensuring the correct execution of data processing scenarios, the concept of georeferenced alarm events requiring ecosystem reactions and possible notification of responsible persons, and multilevel information protection allowing data owners to control access at each stage of information processing.
