Abstract

The paper presents an overview of SARA/Digital Puglia (Synthetic Aperture Radar Atlas), a remote sensing environment that shows how grid technologies and high performance computing can be efficiently used to build dynamic earth observation systems for the management of huge quantities of data coming from space missions and for their on-demand processing and delivering to final users. SARA/Digital Puglia is a grid-enabled, high performance digital library of remote sensing images, developed in a joint research project with CACR/Caltech, ISI/USC and the Italian Space Agency.
