I.D.E.A.S. consists of a web-deployed Storefront, Smart Engine and High Performance Cloud Computing backbone which provides for data and model discovery and access to federated NASA and other U.S. agency data repositories, and available model repositories. Innovative methods for data and model discovery, learned workflows for discovery based on users' problem sets, access and management is used to provide near real-time Modeling as a Service (MaaS) services. These MaaS services provide for model set up, calibration, utilization, and product generation. Model revisions and user collaboration are also provided.
Many users of satellite earth observational data have a difficult time discovering and accessing data and models. The Intelligent Data Exploration and Analytics System (I.D.E.A.S.) developed by The SI Organization, Inc. systematically addresses these challenges through intelligent compute responses and guidance and in addition provides the ability for users to access data and develop on demand GIS products through ESRI tools.
