EASy provides…
Interfaces to data sources (including automated importing), sensors, and software components (custom statistics, models, GUIs) shown in previous slide
4-dimensional (lat,long, depth, time) foundation for integrating and analyzing (e.g. built in contouring)
Variety of graphical presentations (e.g. vector, raster, contours, xy plots)
Export of spatially/temporally selected information
Graphical User Interface which can be operated in 3 modes running simulations of time series or models browsing data independently of time saving output of analysis as binary files which can be replayed
NetViewer plug-in for serving EASy applications over the Internet
EASy Software Architecture
Models
4 dimensional system for marine applications WGS-84/geodetic representation Interfaces for models, spreadsheets, databases, and Internet
PC Desktop & Web-enabled GIS applications
